1299 is now routing Paris to Singapore via US and Pacific...
The good news is that the Yemeni government have approved repairs for EIG and SEACOM. The bad news is that those approvals don't yet extend to AAE-1, whose cut is the one causing you that pain. It's unclear when, or if, Yemen will give permission to repair AAE-1. The market is speculating mid-June, but there is no hard data to support that.
Not sure if transition 6 to 7 is what was expected, with a 350ms increase...

HE did/does that too, prefering to avoid any direct route from EU to Asia.
Well, right now, of the modern cables that had capacity and reasonable pricing, only SMW-5 remains up... and SMW-5 is just about out of capacity as well. SMW-6 is currently under construction, so that is not yet an option (the Red Sea debacle notwithstanding). Subsea systems that need to cross the Middle East and Egypt to connect Europe and Africa to South (East) Asia are generally problematic because of the complexities of having to deal with Egypt, and now, the Red Sea. That translates into capacity availability (or lack thereof in times like these) and cost. This creates an incentive for operators to route South (East) Asia through the U.S. to get to Europe, until the situation resolves itself, or new cables with new/cheaper capacity pop up. Mark.
