Break in SEA-ME-WE cable behind slow speeds.

Telstra indicated this issue was related to a cut cable, but declined to comment specifically.
Vocus general manager of engineering Rick Carter confirmed the SEA-ME-WE cable connecting Perth to Singapore has been cut at segment 3.3 since September 25.
He said a cable repair ship had been deployed to address the issue and expects to repair the cable by October 15.
Internet service provider iiNet has posted a fault notice with an unnamed international cable alerting customers to a similar issue.
