Philippines-Singapore undersea cable cut disrupts internet
Original: submarine communications cable
A submarine communications cable linking the Philippines and Singapore was cut, disrupting internet connectivity between the two countries. Philippine telcos including Globe rerouted traffic through backup links while repairs were carried out, and the connection has since been restored. The incident highlighted how dependent regional internet traffic remains on a small number of subsea cables.
Why now: The cable outage disrupted internet services and telcos had to reroute traffic, drawing public attention until the link was restored.
