30 March 2013 – SEACOM, the company that owns the submarine fibre optic cable that links to London via Egypt said they have restored to the full capacity. It affected internet speed with submarine cable cut by 3 drivers in Egypt which the Egypt police forces said they have arrested.
Since 27th March, 2013, the internet speed in Bhutan too deteriorated. Only on 29th, Bhutan Telecom, the country’s ISP said they have partially re-routed the traffic via other gateway, which didn’t have full capacity as the affected gateway.
By 30 March 2013, SEACOM posted updates on their website that the traffic via the affected cable have been fully restored to the original capacity. 
“SEACOM is pleased to have been able to restore all services for our customers. We apologise again for the impact these multiple cable cuts have caused over the past 8 days. The work done by the SEACOM team has been outstanding. They have worked around the clock with our global partners to achieve a massive manual restoration task at a time of much disruption in regional cable systems” said Mark Simpson, SEACOM CEO.
