Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage .
Huge numbers <m> in Egypt and India </m> were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage , when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was cut .
Internet Service Providers ( ISPs ) throughout the region , including those in United Arab Emirates , Kuwait and Saudi Arabia , also reported problems .
International telephone calls , which have also been affected , are being rerouted to work around the problem .
Industry experts told The Times that two sub-sea cables went down just off Alexandra , causing the mass disruption .
`` It is incredibly rare to experience a dual-break where both cables are down simultaneously , '' said a spokesperson for Interoute , the internet networks company .
The Egyptian ministry said it will take `` several days '' for cables to be repaired and is trying to reroute Egypt 's internet connections .
Indian ISPs said their problems were due to the cable damage off Egypt .
Speaking to reporters , Rajesh Chharia , president of the Internet Service Providers ' Association of India , said : `` Information technology companies , software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US east coast are the worst affected . ''
Rafaat Hindy , from the Egyptian ministry , said : `` Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries , we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility .
`` We are working as fast as we can . ''
It is thought that up to 70 per cent of web services in Egypt , and 60 per cent in India , were disrupted yesterday .
There were reports that phone and internet difficults had spread to Yemen , Sudan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka .
The shut down will take several days to fix , and could have a major impact on the region and across the world .
It is likely to hit businesses who will struggle to communicate in the affected countires .
Call-centres who work for British companies are likely to be offline or hard to contact in the coming days .
Others warned that bank and stock market trading could be affected .
The digital blackout highlighted the vulnerability of global communications .
Hundreds of millions of people access the web , but the vast majority of international traffic runs through a a small amount of cables submerged below the sea .
Industry insiders warned that a domino effect was occuring today , causing the disruption to spread across the globe .
As companies ' private internet services went down , workers were forced to use the public internet and mobile phones to communicate .
This has resulted in a heavy strain on phone and internet networks , meaning calls could go down and cause the internet to become slower or blackout completely . |

Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage .
Huge numbers in Egypt and India were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage , when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was <m> cut </m> .
Internet Service Providers ( ISPs ) throughout the region , including those in United Arab Emirates , Kuwait and Saudi Arabia , also reported problems .
International telephone calls , which have also been affected , are being rerouted to work around the problem .
Industry experts told The Times that two sub-sea cables went down just off Alexandra , causing the mass disruption .
`` It is incredibly rare to experience a dual-break where both cables are down simultaneously , '' said a spokesperson for Interoute , the internet networks company .
The Egyptian ministry said it will take `` several days '' for cables to be repaired and is trying to reroute Egypt 's internet connections .
Indian ISPs said their problems were due to the cable damage off Egypt .
Speaking to reporters , Rajesh Chharia , president of the Internet Service Providers ' Association of India , said : `` Information technology companies , software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US east coast are the worst affected . ''
Rafaat Hindy , from the Egyptian ministry , said : `` Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries , we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility .

It is thought that up to 70 per cent of web services in Egypt , and 60 per cent in India , were disrupted yesterday .
There were reports that phone and internet difficults had spread to Yemen , Sudan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka .
The shut down will take several days to fix , and could have a major impact on the region and across the world .

`` It is incredibly rare to experience a dual-break where both cables are down simultaneously , '' said a spokesperson for Interoute , the internet networks company .
The Egyptian ministry said it will take `` several days '' for cables to be repaired and is trying to reroute Egypt 's internet connections .
Indian ISPs said their problems were due to the cable damage off Egypt .
Speaking to reporters , Rajesh Chharia , president of the Internet Service Providers ' Association of India , said : `` Information technology companies , software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US east coast are the worst affected . ''
Rafaat Hindy , from the Egyptian ministry , said : `` Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries , we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility .
`` We are working as fast as we can . ''
It is thought that up to 70 per cent of web services in Egypt , and 60 per cent in India , were disrupted yesterday .
There were reports that phone and internet difficults had spread to Yemen , Sudan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka .
The shut down will take several days to fix , and could have a major impact on the region and across the world .
It is likely to hit businesses who will struggle to communicate in the affected countires .
Call-centres who work for British companies are likely to be offline or hard to contact in the coming days .
Others warned that bank and stock market trading could be affected .
The digital blackout highlighted the vulnerability of global communications .
Hundreds of millions of people access the web , but the vast majority of international traffic runs through a a small amount of cables submerged below the sea .
Industry insiders warned that a domino effect was occuring today , causing the disruption to spread across the globe .
As companies ' private internet services went down , workers were forced to use the public internet and mobile phones to communicate .
This has resulted in a heavy strain on phone and internet networks , meaning calls could go down and cause the internet to become slower or blackout completely . |

Submarine cable problem disrupts telecom services in Alexandria
Thursday , Aug 18 , 2011
Services on Egypt's three telecom <m> operators </m> were disrupted in parts of Alexandria on Tuesday afternoon , and some users in Cairo experienced slower internet connections due to "downtime" in a submarine cable .
Vodafone Egypt said some users are continuing to face slight problems due to damage in Telecom Egypt's cables which began in central Cairo .
"Vodafone , along with the country's three telecom providers has been affected by a damage in one of Telecom Egypt's fiber cables in a wire going from the Ramsis Communications Center all the way to Sadat City , " said Khaled Hegazy , Vodafone's external affairs director .
"This has affected and continues to affect communications especially in parts of Alexandria and Suez governorates , " he said .
"We have not been told when it will be fixed yet , it is in the hands of Telecom Egypt .

"The issue is currently under investigation and services will be restored as soon as possible . "
According to MyBroadband , the largest IT website in South Africa , the problem was attributed to downtime experienced by the pan - African ICT enabler SEACOM .
The company which is a privately funded venture that owns and operates a submarine fiber - optic cable connecting communication carriers in south and east Africa , affected Mobinil , Vodafone , and Etisalat networks across parts of Alexandria and Suez .
"We are seeing some problems in our telecom towers which are affecting only certain parts like Abu Qir district or Maamoura , for example , " a Mobinil customer service representative told Daily News Egypt .
"Other than that , our clients have been calling us as usual . "
A Vodafone customer representative also confirmed that some of their users were experiencing downtime in parts of Alexandria due to "minor technical difficulties . "

August 16 , 2011
Reports on Tuesday morning indicated that a fiber optic cable in the northern part of Egypt had been damaged , resulting in the loss of all telecommunications in Egypt's second largest city of Alexandria and parts of the Nile Delta region .
ITNewsAfrica that "a <m> Telecom Egypt </m> fiber line near Alexandria has been damaged resulting in loss of telecommunications for all three mobile operators . "
The official , however , did not give details as to why the cable was damaged and it remains unclear whether it was an attack or a miscue on the operator's part .
Telecom Egypt , the country's state - owned fixed line monopoly is responsible for all ADSL Internet connections and the three mobile operators in Egypt their infrastructure for connectivity .
Egypt is not unfamiliar to telecom cuts .
In recent years , the country has lost Internet service after Mediterranean cables were cut , leaving the country largely blacked out for days .
The official , who was not authorized to speak to the media , did say that they were attempting to rectify the problem "as soon as we understand exactly what happened . "
Users across the country reported immediate drops in speed and connectivity .
At local cafes in Cairo , users immediately saw a difference in connection speed .
"I hope they get this sorted out quickly , because I have to upload things daily and this cut is affecting how I work , " said an Egyptian blogger and journalist , who added that the "Internet is my life .
If it goes down , it really hurts my ability to work . " |

ITNewsAfrica that "a Telecom Egypt fiber line near Alexandria has been damaged resulting in <m> loss </m> of telecommunications for all three mobile operators . "
The official , however , did not give details as to why the cable was damaged and it remains unclear whether it was an attack or a miscue on the operator's part .
Telecom Egypt , the country's state - owned fixed line monopoly is responsible for all ADSL Internet connections and the three mobile operators in Egypt their infrastructure for connectivity .
Egypt is not unfamiliar to telecom cuts .

Users across the country reported immediate drops in speed and connectivity .
At local cafes in Cairo , users immediately saw a difference in connection speed .
"I hope they get this sorted out quickly , because I have to upload things daily and this cut is affecting how I work , " said an Egyptian blogger and journalist , who added that the "Internet is my life .
