Hi All

Just to inform you that SEACOM services between Mumbai and Mombasa are down since 9:19 GMT/5th July '10.

Current investigations indicate that a repeater has failed on segment 9 of the SEACOM cable, which is offshore to the north of Mombasa. This unexpected failure affects traffic towards both India and Europe. Traffic within Africa is not affected.

SEACOM has initiated emergency repair procedures to replace the repeater. Once mobilised, the repair ship is deployed to the location of the fault to pick up the cable. The cable is then brought on board to undergo the repair – the faulty element is replaced with a new repeater - before being put back in the water.

As a side note, most ISP's have setup routing to allow international access, however accessing P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications. This means accessing the chat window may not work.
