2024-04-20 Estimated repaired Q3-2024	The 20,000km submarine cable SEA-ME-WE 5 connecting Europe with Singapore via the Middle East is broken off the coast of Singapore, causing some telecom providers to lose direct connectivity with Southeast Asia. An alternative route via USA and Japan is in place, but this is congested and results in very low throughput at times. This also affects the possibility for some services in Europe to stream TV to their customers in Southeast Asia.
2024-02-25 Repair of AAE-1 completed Seacom estimated to be repaired in Q3 2024 Delays are due to the war in Yemen.	Four submarine cables have been damaged in the Red Sea, causing disruption of some Internet communications between Europe and Asia. Most of the traffic has been rerouted to other cables, or via USA, which results in higher latency and lower bandwidth than normal on some paths. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/04/business/red-sea-cables-cut-internet Update 2024-07-15: AAE-1 is back in service, resulting in much improved response times from most operators in Europe. https://techcentral.co.za/finally-progress-in-red-sea-cable-repairs/248157/
IPTV	Older IPTV-boxes sometimes show pixels and disturbances when there are lots of movements in the picture, or have no audio on some programs. This is because many TV-channels are now upgrading to HD (High Definition) quality, which older TV-boxes are not designed for. To watch HD with full quality, it is required to upgrade the TV-box to a newer model. The model number is marked on the sticker at the bottom of the TV-box; Older boxes are marked with ‘MAG2xx’, and newer with ‘MAG3xx’ or ‘MAG5xx’.
