Internet disruption due to break in SMW4, a subsea fibre optic system

Etisalat said all efforts are being made to fix a break in SMW4, a subsea fibre optic system, close to Alexandria in the Mediterranean sea.

“We have quickly initiated a contingency plan to reroute traffic to minimise the customer impact and are working closely with the parties concerned to ensure the earliest possible restoration of the cables,” etisalat said in a statement.

The company added that it will be monitoring traffic to minimise overall customer impact as the network is being regularised.
