Millions in Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia have been experiencing slow or intermittent internet connections, due to a series of ruptures in the underwater trans-Pacific cable that provides internet to the region.
While previous theories have included foul play and snagging by anchors, the real reason behind the fractures is increasingly thought to be sharks chewing down on the cables.
According to the cable operator Asia-America Gateway (AAG), the ruptures were reported offshore Ba Ria in Vung Tau Province and are now being located.
