Slow internet speeds in SA

Seacom announced that it is aware of the outage on the West coast undersea cable, WACs, that is currently affecting numerous South African ISPs. While repairs on the WACs undersea cable systems have been planned, many ISPs will need to re-route their traffic via alternative paths, such as Seacom's East coast undersea cable or other routes. As a result of the WACs cable system issues, customers may experience increased latency as alternative routes are implemented. Many African ISPs and their customers could be experiencing unstable or slower speeds when using the internet.
