For what it's worth we have a provider in India for an anycast network who gave us a similar answer when we ticketed them about poor routing to Singapore. Chris On 2022-01-18 9:08 a.m., Mukund Sivaraman wrote:
We received the following email today from our upstream (in India):
Our transit traffic partners have reported multiple sub-sea cable damages on the Atlantic route towards Europe and US east coast. Users might face additional latency and occasional packet loss towards these destinations.
Our partners are working with relevant authorities and cable sea companies for restoration and will take few days to address it. We will inform as soon as this is resolved. Inconvenience caused is highly regretted. I've read about cable cuts due to the Tonga volcanic eruption, but the above as "multiple cable damages" is mentioned as in the Atlantic. Does anyone know more about this? A news search for "cable cuts" didn't bring up anything aside from the Tonga story.
