Just a follow up on cable outages and v12, although more generally an issue of transmission paths. Word has it that repairs on some cuts, those specifically w/in Red Sea, will take longer to resolve and could be years end, maybe, depending on OHS issues w/in the region.

SEA-ME-WE-5 has had a ship dispatched and approvals to go ahead with repairs – earliest ETA last week of MAY.

For those in APAC, many providers have re-routed where possible by now and connectivity should not be at a place where the platform’s ‘unusable’. Smaller ISP and challenging upstream relationships with smaller capacity likely to be affected the most.

In RTT terms, we’re down from +400ms to ~280ms with packet loss still present but AUS providers generally shuffle loads based on Business Hours and regions affected – apparently it can be automagical till something breaks and as always requires peer review-intervention as needed.

Apologies for the noise on thread.
