Internet connections?

I have been reading that there is a problem with the cables that supplies the middle east with internet. Is Egypt having the same problem?

Update:

Will someone hurry and put Egypt back on the internet map. We miss them!

    Yes Egypt is having problems with its Internet connections, i heard that Egypt had dropped off the edge of the planet, but the truth is surely more believable = Sharks ate the cables, again, lol.

    I miss the gang too, i mean whats the point of an Egypt section without any Egyptians, plus i love em all.

    It is expected to be back 100% the first of January... tomorrow they said it will be 70%..Now, and do not tell me that I am paranoid... Egypt is tied to Europe by fiber cables,,the three are broken , but that would affect some areas than in Egypt..the difference that others have a back up cables,, the only company which has their own cables is Orascom.. (which is the rep...of USA in Egypt)..why do I feel it is not Luck... especially when we know that Iran also has a big affect,, because this cut,,,

    YES!!!! The cables in Italy were, I believe, eaten by fish and Egypt is suffering as well. D:

    However, it's said that Germany is supposed to fix their cables soon and so the cables in Egypt should be stable in the next few days (we hope)!

    I have my internet connection back now, I needed it badly at work this morning.

    I think we may need to return back to old methods for communication, like homing Pigeons :-)

    The first known use of pigeons as postal messengers was in ancient Egypt

    I started to have a feeling that there had to be something wrong with the internet. I'm missing members here. Thanks for confirming my feeling.
