SeaMeWe-3 Experiences Another Cable Break
On Thursday, May 10 at approximately 02:00 UTC, the SeaMeWe-3 (SMW-3) subsea cable suffered yet another cable break. The break disrupted connectivity between Australia and Singapore, causing latencies to spike as illustrated below in our Internet Intelligence tool, because traffic had to take a more circuitous path.
The SMW-3 cable has had a history of outages, which we have reported on multiple times in the past, including August 2017, December 2014, and January 2013.
Latencies to/from Perth, Australia spike as SMW-3 submarine cable suffers fault off the coast of Singapore on 2-Dec. New fault occurred only six weeks following repair of previous fault on same cable segment. https://t.co/gv5wGS09pk pic.twitter.com/WbRDgNxt5C
