In a message to it's users, SLTnet said: "We have lost connectivity to
global Internet due to failure in the international submarine cable
system. All measures have been taken to normalise this as early as
possible."

"An additional but limited capacity satellite uplink has been made to
manage the information flow crisis caused by the crash, particularly when
people go to their offices, banks universities etc.," SLTnet officials
said.
