Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seacom has issued an update on their reparation progress on 27 March 2013:<\/p>\n

SEACOM has completed reprioritization and reallocation of capacity for our customers at approximately 11:00 GMT. 75% of our customers by number are now once again restored.<\/p>\n

The SEACOM team continues to work hard to source further capacity to re-establish full restoration.<\/p>\n

We will update further as information becomes available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Original article<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seacom<\/a> said on the morning of 27 March 2013 that it restored all services, which includes restoring capacity on both SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems.<\/p>\n

However, Seacom said that it has \u201cseen loss of signal on the SMW4 capacity and customers restored on that route are likely to be experiencing an outage\u201d.<\/p>\n

Seacom said that it is currently in the process of prioritizing and reallocating already available capacity for customers and sourcing further capacity to re-establish full restoration.<\/p>\n

Seacom experienced that a physical cable cut in the Mediterranean Sea on Friday 22 March caused an outage on the system. The outage is expected to last until early April.<\/p>\n

Seacom said previously that the subsea cable cut in the Mediterranean is being investigated to understand the root cause of the outage.<\/p>\n

\u201cShips are being sent to the area to bring up the cable and implement repairs,\u201d Seacom said in a statement.<\/p>\n
