Massive Web Outages In Egypt
It’s not a great time to be a web-junkie in Egypt, as the country has experienced some massive internet outages as of late. This is because the country utilizes an under-sea cabling system, which was cut and damaged. The result was a very large-scale internet outage which spanned most of the country. It’s going to take likely three days to have the internet up and running, country-wide. The country does have an alternate method of internet access, coming from Asia, that they will attempt to utilize to stop the gap, so to speak.
This was, unfortunately, not the first time a mass web-outage has occurred in Egypt. Previously this year there was again damage to under-sea cables, which caused massive outages in both the Middle-east, as well as India and Egypt.
