This would mostly be for technical reasons - for the typical 
IPLC backhaul, the only other popular option before an STM-1 
(155Mbps) is a DS-3 (45Mbps).

Since SEACOM, like many other cable systems, will be 
operating an SDH customer-facing network, an STM-1 is the 
smallest they can possibly offer.

It makes sense too. Anything lower than an STM-1, and the 
port costs begin to add up quickly.

In the grand scheme of things, I posit an STM-1 isn't much 
these days, even at US$350/Mbps/Month

Cheers,

Mark.
