Repair work on the cable is underway and is expected to last for at least four days and in turn affect the internet connections in India.

The SEA-ME-WE 4 is an international sub-marine cable consortium of 16 companies including Airtel and Tata Communications.This is not the first time India had to face slow internet speed due to disruption in a cable system. In Jan 2008, the country lost 50 to 60 per cent of Internet bandwidth due to a breakdown in an international undersea cable network.
