Cairo : Ruptured submarine optic cables in southern Italy affect, for the second consecutive day, access to the internet and international phone services in the Middle East and South Asia.
Tedata Company confirmed that at least three cables connecting Europe with the Middle East and South Asia were severed.
According to the source, the disruption that affects 80 percent Egyptian connection with the Internet began early Friday and continues Saturday mid day.
Internet users are either impaired to connect themselves or have sporadic or slow access …. although the situation varies from one area to another and depends on the provider.
Communications Ministry says they are working to restore full service by redirecting communications through the Red Sea.
