Submarine Cable Cut Disrupts Internet in the Philippines On October 2, 2026, a submarine cable cut between the Philippines and Singapore caused significant internet disruptions across the country, affecting major telecommunications providers including Globe, PLDT, and Converge. The incident resulted in slower internet speeds, higher latency, and intermittent access to online services, particularly those hosted outside the Philippines. Globe began rerouting traffic through alternative links, while PLDT and Converge also confirmed similar actions. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is investigating the cause, which may include accidental damage or sabotage. Repairs to the damaged cable are expected to take several weeks. Despite the disruptions, no critical infrastructure has been reported as significantly affected. Users are advised to expect ongoing connectivity issues as services are restored. 7 sources 39
