The owner of the cables decided it's high time to repair them. The broken cables, which disrupted internet access across much of the middle east and Asia, are well on their way to becoming fully operational again. At this point, there is still an investigation going on as to exactly why the cables were broken. Five cables being broken in the course of a week cannot be a coincidence. The current timeframe for repairs is one cable by Saturday and two by Sunday. The other two cables will be repaired in the very imminent future. At this point, internet traffic has been re-routed, so this whole issue is not as terrible as some would make it out to be.
