Seacom down yet again?

What?! Is the damn line made of jelly or something?? The current problem is "...that a repeater has failed on segment 9 of the Seacom cable, which is offshore to the north of Mombasa."

The problem is affecting traffic to Europa and India, which just happens to be where I need to go to play Wurm Online... -.- No, lemon cat is not amused!

MWEB, my current provider, said that it is looking to secure alternative bandwidth until the problem is sorted out. According to Seacom, the problem will take a minimum of 6 - 8 days to resolve.
