Undersea cable faults cause internet chaos in Vietnam, Cambodia & Lao PDR
Vietnam’s high level of digital penetration has been a saving grace during the COVID-19 lockdown, enabling home-based work, e-learning, and e-Commerce to thrive.
It has been a somewhat different situation for those using international online services though, with the two main submarine cables carrying internet traffic into and out of Vietnam suffering a series of failures that are yet to be rectified.
The effect for internet users in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Lao PDR has been slower and more erratic than normal online services, with mail and messaging services, mobile apps, social media sites, and websites experiencing a range of malfunctions and connectivity issues. Reports of Gmail refusing to open, Facebook and website pages not loading, and video conference calls or videos freezing, or just not working at all, are common.
While damage to one of the six in-service submarine cables coming out of Vietnam is not uncommon, for the two largest capacity cables to be damaged at the same time is, causing internet service providers (ISPs) to scramble to redirect traffic over the remaining four, and a 120 Gbit channel that runs overland through China.

The Asia American Gateway has been a headache cable almost from the start. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-America_Gateway That article only covers the disruptions until August 2018, but it gives a good indication of how bad this one is. Or should we say, how bad the Vietnam section is, because 90% of the faults are happening in that section.

It's bloody broken down again! Less than a month after it was fixed.
Apparently, a different cable though.
The Vietnamese that I have spoken too blame it on sharks.

Should we not be overly concerned should your posts become less frequent?kungfufighter wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 2:13 amIt's bloody broken down again! Less than a month after it was fixed.
