the Kenyan rumor mill... someone on twitter today was even suggesting that a Nyeri woman is in custody "helping police with the investigations" surrounding the fiber cut.... But on a more serious note, I heard on radio today that repair will take 3 weeks, is that true or is it more like the 7 days mentioned earlier?

James, Teams, Eassy and Seacom land in the same area. That is why Lion had to locate somewhere. We were to do a terrestrial ring to mitigate against such occurance but that has not been done yet. It will be done since we are becoming more reliant on the fibre optic.
The Al Shabaab angle is simply prepostrous to link it that way.
Ndemo.
Just how much of our international traffic goes through TEAMS? Internet speeds are perceptibly slower and you'd thin with 3 cables, TEAMS, Seacom and Eassy, this reported cut would be a non-issue.
Was Eassy affected as well? It lands in the same docking station as TEAMS.
Finally, any credibility to some reports that Al Shabaab are behind this? It sounds ridiculous but I'm just asking

Hi all,
I thought Teams and EASSY are laid out in a ring topology, my mistake. If this the same ship to cut the cable last time?

PS. Due to a ship dropping its anchor on the marine cable Konza City will be offline for the next 7 days, we advice all organisations who are dependent on this connection to give their staff time off.

Apparently a ship (we have details) illegally anchored on the channel through which the cables pass and cut both. The ports authority have the undersea route but we do not know how they made such a mistake. Teams will be up in 7 days.
Lion landed in a different location to mitigate against such problems. I do not know if Seacom is operational.
Ndemo.
