Internet services are going to be restored soon: Lebanon
The 8,100-foot-long fibre-optic cable link that is part of the India-Middle East-Western Europe system broke on Wednesday around 30 miles off the Egyptian coast. This left Lebanon facing a cut off from internet. On Friday, the nearby nation of Cyprus agreed to re-route some of Lebanon’s web traffic in and out of the country, while Lebanon’s state-run telecom provider said it would start routing traffic through a series of reserve cables.
Since Friday Night, Internet service in Lebanon is slowly and partially returning and expected to be fully recovered by coming Wednesday.
