Egypt lost more than half its Internet capacity because of Wednesday's breaks and intends to seek compensation, its ministry of communications said in a news release.

India's booming outsourcing industry, which provides a range of back-office services, like insurance claims processing and customer support to overseas clients over the Internet, played down Wednesday's disruption, saying they had used back-up plans.

Good thing the SE Asia Pacific Region isn't affected. Also noticed alot of ME TF2 Servers down. Anyone affected by this on hl2.net?

Heard about this, some ship uprooting and damaging a submarine line.

Never knew those lines existed under the ocean :S

How else did you think people across the ocean get such fast connections to the US and everywhere else? Satellites are slow. Here read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable
