Hi All Currently having a terrible situation in Nigeria where the GLO1 and MainOne cables appear to be both down. Can anyone suggest a good Nigerian ISP with redundancies enough to overcome at least two of the following dying out? SAT-3 WACS GLO1 ACE MainOne Please dont say MTN or any of the Nigerian telcos, except there are no other options, customer service will leave you trying to commit bodily harm.
PCCW has a strong presence in Africa and they are easy to work with. - R. ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces@nanog.org> on behalf of Sina Owolabi <notify.sina@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2017 8:59:41 PM To: nanog@nanog.org list Subject: Internet connectivity in Nigeria Hi All Currently having a terrible situation in Nigeria where the GLO1 and MainOne cables appear to be both down.

Pccw would be sat3 glo1 and wacs maybe others. http://mediafiles.pccwglobal.com/images/downloads/Inf_map.pdf Their looking glass can give you some idea into their reach with Nigeria with a little experimentation. http://lookingglass.pccwglobal.com/ That said sat3 and glo1 combined have something like an order of magnitude less capacity than wacs so the survival / utility of any of the older systems when losing the newest ones is probably less than complete.
