Tonga fiber optic cable broken

Home / Tonga fiber optic cable broken

Tonga is once again experiencing a digital blackout following a new break in its domestic fibre-optic submarine communications cable, caused by a series of strong earthquakes near the Ha'apai island group. It has cable landing points at Sopu, a suburb of Nukuʻalofa in Tonga, and Suva, Fiji. With the devastating volcano eruption on January 15 and subsequent tsunami, the undersea fibre-optic cable connecting Tonga was severed.
