Pccw would be sat3 glo1 and wacs maybe others.

Their looking glass can give you some idea into their reach with Nigeria with a 
little experimentation.

http://lookingglass.pccwglobal.com/

That said sat3 and glo1 combined have something like an order of magnitude less 
capacity than wacs so the survival / utility of any of the older systems when 
losing the newest ones is probably less than complete.

Subject: Internet connectivity in Nigeria

Hi All

Currently having a terrible situation in Nigeria where the GLO1 and
MainOne cables appear to be both down.
Can anyone suggest a good Nigerian ISP with redundancies enough to
overcome at least two of the following dying out?

SAT-3
WACS
GLO1
ACE
MainOne

Please dont say MTN or any of the Nigerian telcos, except there are no
other options, customer service will leave you trying to commit bodily
harm.

Hi All

Currently having a terrible situation in Nigeria where the GLO1 and
MainOne cables appear to be both down.
Can anyone suggest a good Nigerian ISP with redundancies enough to
overcome at least two of the following dying out?

SAT-3
WACS
GLO1
ACE
MainOne

Please dont say MTN or any of the Nigerian telcos, except there are no
other options, customer service will leave you trying to commit bodily
harm.
