Microsoft reports delay in fixing massive undersea cable outage

VAAL TRIANGLE - Microsoft says repairs to four undersea cables, causing disruptions to cloud platforms in South Africa, have encountered delays. The company has rerouted traffic to restore functionality while investigations are ongoing. The outage, affecting the West Africa Cable System, the Africa Coast to Europe, MainOne, and SAT–3 cables, was caused by a massive outage in Côte d’Ivoire near Abidjan. The exact cause of the disruption remains unclear. Microsoft assures users of ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact, with a target completion date set for today.
