Retelit Trades AAE-1 Capacity for Asian Services… Nevertheless, it has to be said that, unless “Cable Retriever” has been assigned the task of repairing all three cables, the response to these outages seems to have been quite slow, perhaps as a result of continued bad weather. Other vessels in the area are the “Decisive” (heading to Taichung, Taiwan), “Durable” (en route to Toucheng, Taiwan), “Lodbrog” (en route to Vung Tau, Vietnam), and “Responder” (heading to Taichung, Taiwan). The “ASEAN Explorer” is currently berthed in Merak, Java, Indonesia, away from her home port of Sembawang, Singapore, and is therefore the most likely candidate to have been assigned to repair theĪs for the other cables around Hong Kong, the “Cable Retriever” is most certainly involved in the repairs as she is currently “on site” at 22° 10” 01.40’ N, 114° 33” 55.54’ E, just outside Hong Kong. The estimated repair date for SEA-ME-WE-3, some 45 days after the fault occurred seems quite pessimistic and is probably only a reflection of the Service Level Agreement with the South East Asia Indian Ocean Cable Maintenance Agreement (SEAIOCMA) under which this cable receives maintenance and repair services. had also invested in AAG, ASE and SEA-ME-WE3 cable systems while Globe Telecom invested in Tata Global Network–Intra Asia cable system (TGN-IA).Īdapted from: VN Express, ZDNET, ANALYSIS: It would appear that AAG, ASE, and TGN-IA, all of which land in Hong Kong, were affected by the typhoon while the incident on the Perth-Singapore segment of SEA-ME-WE-3 is separate and coincidental. The AAG, ASE, IA and SEA-ME-WE3 (SMW3) are South East Asia’s primary gateway cables as well as PLDT Inc. Meanwhile, Globe Telecom via their Facebook page finally speaks out and issued a public advisory, informing the public that they weren’t that much affected of the said damages due to their internet routing measures. To date, our providers have not given an exact lead time to complete the repair as they try Estimated repair time is dependent on the availability of submarine cable ships and weatherĬonditions. Multiple fault points have been detected and ALL our providers have initiated their repair process. The slowdown in our Internet connection is not only being experienced by us but by all ISPs in the Philippines and this will only improve until the fiber cut is resolved. “Due to the recent typhoons that hit Hong Kong, please be informed that the submarine fiber optic cable links of our international gateway were damaged. ICT, known for their cheap Fiber Optic offerings without data caps (which we love, btw): To support this claim, internet service providers such as PLDT, Converge ICT, and Cheetah Broadband, who mainly serve the Rizal area have posted advisories to their users, example of this one is from Converge Due to these cable mishaps, almost all Filipino Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and even those from other countries in SEA region have experienced slowdowns caused by the said cable ruptures.
