Is there a consolidated way to see what links are up and which ISPs are down?  Orange is totally dead for me.  It makes sense that Access Kenya is up since they have agreements with multiple sea cables and are business class.

Hi Skunks,

I just read an article about a new system for monitoring and detecting seacable-cuts, that some danish engineer have developed.

Maybe it would be interesting for the local operators here to have a talk with these guys about this (hoping they are also reading skunkworks). In any case here is the url: (though google translate)

Unless we can cache most of the content locally we will always be affected by these cuts.

Its so bad when yo used to pushing an average of 25 mbps you get 12 mbps or less and 

none of your users care to kill the torrents to save on bandwidth.
