MWEB, one of the local Internet Service Providers most heavily affected by the SEACOM cable fault this week, has confirmed that it has restored all of its international bandwidth and is running at full capacity. 

In a statement released today MWEB revealed that since SEACOM announced the cable fault this past Monday, the company has been working closely with SEACOM to ensure the stability of its network while identifying alternative options to secure additional redundancy.

“While Seacom continues with the repairs of the cable fault, we have in the interim secured full capacity split over two separate routes. Seacom’s restoration process is expected to be completed later next week” commented Says Derek Hershaw, MWEB ISP CEO.

“We fully appreciate the frustration that this situation has caused MWEB customers, and we would like to thank them for their patience,” Hershaw concluded.

Local internet users will be glad to hear that MWeb is once again functional after experiencing almost a week of limited international broadband capacity.
