The WACS cable that was damaged by a sub-sea rockslide in the Congo Canyon off the coast of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon, has now been repaired and has been back up and running since last night.

This natural event impacted internet services both in Namibia and other countries in the region.

The WACS cable is a 14 000 km submarine cable that connects Africa, Europe and Asia. It is one of the most important submarine cables in the world, and its outage had a significant impact on internet traffic in Namibia and the region at large.
