Cape Town - Internet service provider, MWEB said
on Friday that it had restored all of its international
bandwidth and was running at full capacity.
Following Seacom's announced cable fault on Monday, MWEB said it had worked very closely with its bandwidth provider to ensure the stability of its network while identifying alternative options to secure additional redundancy.
Seacom, a provider of submarine fibre-optic cable connecting communication carriers in South and East Africa noted on its website on Monday that its services between Mumbai and Mombasa had been down since 9:19 GMT/5th July 2010.
The group also pointed out that while the repair process itself would only take a few hours, the overall process may last a minimum of 6-8 days.
MWEB said Telkom's SAT3 cable had ensured some redundancy, which was used primarily to re-route email traffic.
Derek Hershaw, MWEB ISP CEO said: "While Seacom continues with the repairs of the cable fault, we have in the interim secured full capacity split over two separate routes. Seacom's restoration process is expected to be completed later next week.
"We fully appreciate the frustration that this situation has caused MWEB customers, and we would like to thank them for their patience," Hershaw concluded.
