Identified

We observed short flaps occurring on the ASC submarine cable system at 04/09/2026 03:50:33 UTC. However a hard down event followed at 04/09/2026 06:19:12 UTC

Due to the Indigo West cable system also being offline for shunt fault repairs, traffic will take a longer path which will result in higher latency between Australia and Singapore.

We are waiting for further information from Vocus regarding this outage. Information received will be shared via our status page.
