Undersea internet cable cut

You may have heard that an undersea cable was cut affecting various countries internet access. Initially I didn't think this would concern me but apparently some of the companies who have off-shored their tech support to India like Microsoft are affected. This explains why it's been over two days to receive a hotfix from the Microsoft support website. Fortunately I got tired of waiting and called them up for it but I still haven't received my emailed version either.
