The Fiber Optic cable in the mediterranean sea that provides the Internet service in Egypt is down for a hidden reason until now..
The entire country will NOT use the Internet until it's fixed..

The disruption was caused by an anchoring ship that accidentally damaged Indian-owned Flag cable and SEA-ME-WE after being diverted from the Egyptian port of Alexandria due to bad weather.
Repair teams have already set sail for the location but the disruption that started yesterday hasn't yet been resolved. Reportedly, it will take a week to a fortnight to restore services back to normalcy.

But the net is working fine today, it looks like they found a temporary solution, any body know what it is.
I also posted about this crisis.
I've heared about this solution which is a secondary hidden line for emergencies like this..
The secondary line is 20% : 25% of the regular internet speed capacity, we can see this in the slow internet during this day although it's present and active, but NOT like usual speeds!
Do anyone know where's the src of our Internet [The nearest Internet backbone]?

Aside from the complex physical connections that make up its infrastructure, the Internet is facilitated by bi- or multi-lateral commercial contracts (e.g., peering agreements), and by technical specifications or protocols that describe how to exchange data over the network. Indeed, the Internet is essentially defined by its interconnections and routing policies.
As of December 30, 2007, 1.319 billion people use the Internet according to Internet World Stats. Writing in the Harvard International Review, philosopher N.J. Slabbert, a writer on policy issues for the Washington, D.C.–based Urban Land Institute, has asserted that the Internet is fast becoming a basic feature of global civilization, so that what has traditionally been called "civil society" is now becoming identical with information technology society as defined by Internet use. - web design company, web designer, web design india

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Endpoint Security software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central remote pc access software
