Some bad news here for some folks :|
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7218008.stmInternet services have been disrupted in large parts of the Middle East and India following damage to two undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, a government official told Reuters.
India also suffered up to 60% disruption, a body representing internet service providers said.
Disruption also occurred in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, reported the Associated Press.
Neither of the cable operators have confirmed the cause or location of the outage but some reports suggest it was caused by a ship's anchor near the port of Alexandria in Egypt.
The talk is that it will be a few days for normal service to be restored, its interesting to note that despite talks of "backup systems" and "redundancy" how fragile things really are.
