Repairs to the submarine cable delivering most of WIOCC's connectivity to Europe were completed on 17 April 2013 and WIOCC customer traffic is currently being migrated back to its original routing. During the outage, Africa's carriers' carrier WIOCC was able to provide restoration services to all customers requiring them.

"I am delighted that our cable has been repaired on schedule, enabling us to get customers' services back to normal as early as possible" said Chris Wood, WIOCC's CEO.

"I apologise to customers for the impact of these multiple cable cuts in the Mediterranean Sea, which have affected telcos and ISPs worldwide over the last month. WIOCC's team has made a monumental effort over a sustained period of time, with our Service Delivery and Technical Support teams working 24x7 for almost two weeks to ensure that WIOCC's customers were restored in the fastest possible time."
