Networking in BLR1 and SGP1 Region
Significant submarine cable outages continue to impact multiple network carriers on the Indian subcontinent, with increased latency and packet loss to our BLR1 region occurring sporadically throughout the day.
On a positive note, our upstream providers have worked diligently over the past couple of days to minimize the impact of the loss of submarine capacity. As a result, we are now mainly seeing service degradation during the busier evening peak hours only.
For the moment, we have no updates to provide regarding when the situation might improve. Repair times for submarine cables are typically on the order of weeks or months. However, further short-term improvements may still be possible as upstream carriers work to re-balance traffic where feasible.
Separately, we continue to look into potential avenues for additional mitigations and will keep our customers aprised as we make progress in this area.
We apologize for the ongoing inconvenience created by this extraordinary situation and thank our customers for their patience.
