| India's internet services have been hit badly as around 50 per cent of country's internet bandwidth is reported to be disrupted.
As per the immediate reports of Headlines Today, a news channel, it was stated that the problem started at around 2:00 pm in many parts of the country.
The main cause behind this problem is understood to be the breakdown in an international undersea cable network near Egypt.
"There has been a 50 to 60 per cent cut in bandwidth," Rajesh Chharia, the President of Internet Service Providers Association of India confirmed.
India's BPO and IT companies are the ones most affected by this, as large part of their work is dependent on internet based calls and data transferring.
Reports say that the emergency back up has been activated to give some relief to users, but it might take more than a week for the connection to be completely restored |
