This ain't entirely true though, that shit will take weeks.. 3km inside the sea and cables hundreds of kilometer in the sea, getting the vessel there can't take less than 2 weeks getting the parts.. these people should give realistic timelines

Abeg i thought of something is it possible to sue this people I have lost some opportunities because of this network issue, lawyers is it possible? Just curious question o

Let them take 2 month to fix it , can the US goes offline for even 1hours, this African thing get as e be

Wetin come do the undersea cables in the first place?? Abi mammy water don vex

I no talk am. The cable break has nothing to do with the Houthis. whose theatre of operation is a long way off from the Sengal-Côte d'Ivoire axis.

MainOne, which is owned by data center operator Equinix (EQIX.O), opens new tab, said that an "external incident" resulted in a cut to its cable system in the Atlantic Ocean, offshore Cote D'Ivoire along the coast of West Africa. It ruled out human activity as a cause.

The major internet outage affected West and Central Africa on Thursday, with operators of multiple subsea cables reporting failures.
"Our preliminary analysis would suggest some form of seismic activity on the seabed resulted in a break to the cable", MainOne said, adding it would obtain more data when the cable is retrieved during repair.

"Given the distance from land, and the cable depth of about 3 kms (1.86 miles) at the point of fault, any kind of human activity – ship anchors, fishing, drilling etc has been immediately ruled out," it said.

My data subscription on MTN is currently heading to a waste… it only connects on 2G/EDGE… and that's a network so slow for anything close to browsing and downloading.

Let's hope they don't go ahead to cut it again.
If they do again, just n**e 'em.

I did an hour sub.twice hoping to cover the first only to lose both,wanted to go crazy cause I wanted to download movies,thought the problem was from my device's connection

Nigeria should not base its economy on this dangerous international undersea cable cabal.
Secure domestic communication system should be independent of these external agents.

They destroyed the Red Sea undersea cable which went further to affect the WASC (West African Cabling System),
This issue almost exhausted me as a Network engineer when it started on Thursday because the NOCs (Network operation Centers) systems can't even respond for a support.
Islam has become a threat to this world than the peace it claims to be

But this article said the cable cut is not caused by humans but seismic activities because it occurred 3km deep which is impossible for humans to reach

Ah! The disruptions across West Africa are due to SEISMIC activity... That's an earthquake or earth tremors below sea levels.

These earth tremors are regular occurrences around the world's earthquake fault lines.

PointZerom:


Our concern is how much you'll loot on this project.

Have you drinking or what ?
You think it is Nigeria project

Does it affect banks too🤷🤷🤷
Because my first bank USSD code is not working since yesterday

Very soon now, this one too will start acting like PHCN. Cable spoil today, they steal cable tomorrow and all sort of criminal activities from them will start coming up. Dis country self

about four years go, I opened a thread on flat and informed people that satellite in space is a lie and internet and gps works through ground based connection and under water cables,..they called me illiterate.

now those fools can see for themselves...

FireUpNow:
Will the customers be compensated?

For where?Then go pay more.No be Niger?

Desusi:

For where?Then go pay more.No be Niger?

But this is very bad. Normally the customers should be compensated instead NCC and the telecom companies are ripping the we the customers off.

NSNO:
And people with no information were blaming the Houthis.

Always glorifying mediocrity .. because you have never left Makoko

NCC useless idiots

Imagine the hard currency the subsea workers would earn. Some mad amount.

I don't need to read it because it's half baked report , if you are a follower of the middle-east report you will know better and besides it's my field. There's no bigotry here biko. You are just a terrorists apologist and a potential terrorist
