Seacom, whose SA-East Africa-South Asia fibre-optic submarine cable system went down on 5 July, is in the process of restoring capacity to all its customers.
The cable operator confirmed last night that physical repairs to the fault were in the final stages of completion and that final testing was under way. Technical teams began working with customers to reinstate Seacom traffic to pre-outage configurations throughout Africa, a process that should be completed within the course of the day.
Seacom's largest shareholder, The Tertiary Education Network (Tenet), went live at 6.30am today.
“Tenet institutions' international traffic is running once more on Seacom, and the service is being closely monitored,” says the network.
Internet service provider (ISP) Cybersmart reports that it transferred capacity back to Seacom at 7am today.
