Internet line damaged in Vietnam

Published:

It is not in the English news sites yet but the internet line shared by VNPT, Viettel and FPT was damaged recently outside of Vung Tau somewhere in the ocean.  I found out yesterday from my friend at VNPT when I complained about the terrible bandwidth from Vietnam to the US.

Nobody seems to know when the line was actually damaged but I think it happened last Saturday morning when we had the small earthquake.

The line is supposed to be repaired sometime next week but nobody knows when for sure.  I heard that they were still trying to locate where the line was actually damaged.

Update:

Took nearly 5 days but finally the news is reporting about the cable breakage in English:
