Hi,
We did some analysis of the situation in Egypt using the RIPEstat
toolbox (please note, this is a prototype and we're not sure how it will
handle a big load):

Looks like you can still make phone calls into Egypt. So it's not totally

Moral of the story: Separate facts from assumptions and guesses. I
did some Google searches and that region has had large scale
disruptions in the past. Several cables follow the same path to the
Suez canal and were hit.

To my knowledge, no one has reported any cable problems in Norther Africa

Also, if there *was* a cable problem on one of the paths through the vicinity,
it affect more than just Egypt:

I don't think it takes a leap of imagination to understand what has happened
here.
