Repair ships were on Wednesday night rushing to the Egyptian coast after damage to two undersea cables disrupted internet traffic across large parts of the Middle East and south Asia.
At least one of the cables had been severed, possibly by a ship’s anchor, authorities said. Internet services in Egypt were cut off and web traffic in India disrupted.
There was speculation on Wednesday that bad weather had caused ships to drop anchor near the Egyptian coast.
However, Verizon, the second-biggest US telecommunications group, which is part of a consortium that owns the cables, said it had not yet determined the reason for the damage.
“We have seen some ships going through an area dragging their anchors,” a spokeswoman said, adding that the cables were situated close to each other near the Egyptian port of Alexandria.
Egypt’s telecommunications ministry said that the damage had disrupted 70 per cent of the country’s internet network, leaving Cairo without internet access all day.
Tarek Amer, Egypt’s deputy central bank governor, when asked about the impact of the disruption on the banking system, said: “We are disappointed [with] the service and will consider alternatives for the banking system if this happens again.”
India also reported serious disruption to its services. “There has been a 50-60 per cent cut in bandwidth,” said Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers’ Association of India.
He told the Headlines Today news channel that a “degraded” service would be up and running by Wednesday night, but full restoration would take 10-15 days.
“The big operators have transferred their small broadband connectivity through the Pacific route, and that’s the reason there’s no hue and cry in the country.”
Residents of Gulf Arab states also reported a slowdown in internet connection. The Bahrain Telecommunications Company said its services were affected.
Verizon warned that “other countries may be affected” by the damage. The cables are two of several hundred underwater conduits that direct internet traffic across the globe.
Verizon said it could take several days to fix the cables, which must be raised from the ocean floor before repairs could begin. It said there were no indications that the damage to the cables was the result of sabotage.
“It can take a couple of days to deploy ships, find the cable, and bring the cable on to the ships to inspect,” the company said.
Until the cables are repaired service providers will be forced to find alternative routes to affected areas.
Wednesday’s incident echoed the situation in 2006, when an earthquake centred near Taiwan severed several undersea cables leading to the disruption of internet services across a wide swath of Asia.

CAIRO (AFP) - Damage to a submarine cable in the Mediterranean caused disruption to Internet services in Egypt and Kuwait and to telephone services in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday, officials said.
"A communication cable in the Mediterranean Sea was cut, which led to partial disruptions to Internet and communication services in Egypt," Egyptian Minister of Communication and Information Technology Tareq Kamel said.

A new vulnerability in QuickTime's handling of RTSP streams, which has been demonstrated to crash QuickTime Player on Windows and may also affect the Mac version
Unlike the RTSP bug patched in QuickTime 7.3.1 last month, this vector works by overflowing an HTTP error buffer sent when the RTSP port 554 is closed on the malicious server, and the QuickTime client tries to switch to port 80. Sneaky.
Since we're almost certain to see iTunes 7.6 and possibly QuickTime 7.3.2 at Macworld anyway, expect another rev of QuickTime to close this hole after those versions ship -- since Apple wasn't notified in advance of this hole, it's unlikely to be caught in the pending updates, as commenter Nicholas points out (unless Apple found the vector independently).
