Hello,
We had more relaible Internet connections off VSATs before fiber. Well, Fiber
is good and also considering VSAT's high mantainance costs, most companies had
to run fiber as their primary links
but my worry is; how can a whole tier 2 ISP switch off redundancy links
on VSAT. Am told even others decommissioned them. How do they expect to
achieve service Availability?
I believe this has been a lesson to most Engineers and companies to always plan
for fail-overs and tolorence.
Regards.
Nelson.
None of us is as smart as all of us

This is something I found regarding TEAMS repair status:
· The cable ship NIWA arrived at Salalah spares depot on 11-03-2012.
· Preparations are now ongoing to load spare cable and
jointing kits onto the ship
· Cable mobilization for the Mombasa mission is expected on 12-03-2012
· So far we are still on schedule (cable ship expected to
arrive at Mombasa on 18-03-2012, for 4 day repair works ending
23-03-2012, all going well)
· We will continue to update regularly, at least every 48 hours.
· Once again we thank you for your patience and understanding
as we try our level best to repair the cable and restore full services
asap.
With TEAMS and EASSY down, I think there is little QoS and a lot of
oversubscription on SEACOM.
Kind regards,
Bernard
