MWEB, South Africa's leading ISP, has confirmed that it has restored all of its international bandwidth and is running at full capacity.
Since Seacom announced the cable fault this past Monday, MWEB has been working very closely with Seacom to ensure the stability of its network while identifying alternative options to secure additional redundancy.
Says Derek Hershaw, MWEB ISP CEO: “While Seacom continues with the repairs of the cable fault, we have in the interim secured full capacity split over two separate routes. Seacom's restoration process is expected to be completed later next week.”
“We fully appreciate the frustration that this situation has caused MWEB customers, and we would like to thank them for their patience,” Hershaw concluded.
