Once again we are faced with the problem of broken submarine Internet cables. This seems to be a reoccurring problem for us here in the Middle East. Yet again, in less than a year, we find ourselves with sporatic, at best, Internet service and therefore virtually cut off from the outside world.
Not only has this affected the Internet, but there is also a problem with the ATM machines. They are apparently working again, but they were all unavailable for a while. Earlier this year when the cables were cut, we were left without ATMs or the use of credit cards for several days. It makes you realize how dependant we have all become on this technology.
There are many rumours going around about sabatoge (mostly involving Americans), but while I am living here, I prefer not to go too much into that. For the moment the verdict is out on the current cause of the problems. I just hope that I will be able to publish this post since I keep losing my connection :)
