Internet slowdown in Malta
A fault in a submarine cable between Malta and Italy has meant that users all over Malta have been unable to access the web, or have experienced heavy slowdowns in access to the Internet. The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) is working to ensure that a backup is available until the fault is remedied and is liaising with the Italian communications authority, AGCOM, to ensure reinstatement of communications. GO has said that it has available backup satellite and microwave links. The MCA is monitoring the situation.
