Well, it's not just SMW4 outage, we've been witnessing serious issues on IMEWE for couple of weeks now and this outages just made it worse. So, right now most of the traffic taking east bound routes.

Re: Line cut in Mediterranean?
Yes smw4 issues across Egypt. In India (and Pakistan also) services are badly impacted. Here in India most of traffic from major networks is going via East Asia route and we are experiencing latency of over 700ms with US and Europe from last few hours.

Earlier this morning, SEACOM had restored all services on both SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems. SEACOM is currently in the process of prioritizing and reallocating already available capacity for customers and sourcing further capacity to re-establish full restoration.
