Disrupted Internet Speeds Impacting Online Browsing in UAE: An Examination of Sluggish WiFi Performance
In recent days, a series of undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea have caused significant disruptions to internet connections across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This incident has resulted in a range of issues for users, from complete internet outages to slower speeds and unreliable access.
The disruptions have affected everyday tools such as Google Maps, which may load slowly or fail to refresh in real time. Business users relying on platforms like Microsoft Azure are reporting delays and difficulties accessing critical services.
The undersea cable cuts have caused rerouted traffic, leading to slower, laggier connections. Internet users in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been particularly affected, experiencing slower speeds, interruptions, and noticeably longer load times for websites.
Buffering on video streaming platforms, glitchy video calls, and laggy online games have become common as a result of the disruptions. Some users have even reported complete internet outages, causing significant inconvenience and disruption to their daily activities.
Technical teams at telecom operators e& and du have flagged delays in repairs, adding to the frustration of affected users. The cause of the undersea cable cuts is not yet publicly confirmed, but similar incidents in the past have involved suspicions of sabotage linked to Russian and Chinese vessels. Advanced cutting tools reportedly developed in China are capable of operating at great depths, raising concerns about the potential for such incidents in the future.
As the situation continues to unfold, affected users are advised to remain patient and to check with their internet service providers for updates on the status of repairs and potential solutions to the disruptions. It is hoped that the issue will be resolved soon, restoring normal internet service to the affected regions.
