PUNE: In the damage unleashed by Cyclone Vardah<\/a>, an undersea network cable<\/a>, or submarine cable<\/a>, was affected, which in turn impacted Internet connectivity<\/a> in parts in the city.
\n
\nAirtel — and to an extent Reliance Jio — was affected while other service providers reported minimal disruption. Airtel had sent its customers a message apprising them of the issue. The company’s spokesperson said connectivity has “largely improved” since.
\n
“The cyclone in Chennai has impacted one of our undersea network cables, which may affect your
Internet<\/a> speeds … Our engineers are working to resolve the issue and services will be normalized shortly,” Airtel — which owns the affected i2i cable network — said in a SMS blast to its customers.
\n
A company spokesperson told TOI: “The situation has largely improved across the country, including Maharashtra, as we have made some alternative arrangements and also due to the
speedy recovery<\/a> from the damage which was caused due to Vardah.”
\n
\nHe also said their voice network was not affected as it was not built on the same “infrastructure backbone” as the Internet service. “Even the slightest of damages can cause disruption to the quality of network,” he said, without specifying the extent of damage to the cable. He did, however, rule out any “massive damage.”
\n
\nVodafone and Idea spokespersons said that there the cyclone has had no impact on their operations in Maharashtra and Goa.
\n
\nA Reliance Jio spokesperson said the cyclone’s impact has been “negligible” on the company’s network and assets so far, and that they are working on a war-footing to ensure the service remains fully available to customers through this phase.
\n
\nHowever, customers experienced patchy Internet connectivity in the city through much of the day.
\n
\nCity banks on Wednesday reported no disruption to banking services due to slow Internet connectivity.
\n
\nThis is not the first time that damage to the undersea cable has caused Internet disruptions. Services were affected in the past after the tsunami in December 2004 and due to damage to undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea in 2008.
\n
\nWhy are undersea cables so critical?
\n
\nAbout 99% of international communications are carried out through undersea cables. Alsom, carrying data over cables is cheaper compared to carrying data over satellites due to limited space available
\n
\nHow many cables does each telecom operator use?
\n
\nMost telecom service providers in India use about 3-4 subsea cables. Some of them own these cables individually and some others share cables with other telecom providers of the world
\n
\nAren’t these protected?
\n
\nA single submarine cable is 0.75-2.5 inches in thickness. Closer to the shore where they land, the cables are armoured. In the beginning of the bed, they are buried under the sand. Under the sea, however, they do not have special protection
