One UK software company told Computer Weekly that it had taken four hours to send a 3K file to its offices in India.

Do you have offices in India that you need to communicate with? Have you been hit? Post a comment let me know.

Services went down on Wednesday at 2.30pm Indian local time when the cables were accidentally cut. Repairs could take up to 15 days according to RS Perhar, secretary of the ISP Association of India.
