Vardah Effect On Internet

Ever since it made landfall on Monday, Cyclone Vardah has crippled cashless transactions in Chennai. Over 48 hours later, there is still no electricity, mobile or internet connectivity in several areas as uprooted electric poles and damaged transformers are yet to be fixed.

As Cyclone Vardah slows to a depression and moves to Karnataka, one of its effects is becoming clearer: Slow internet. Service providers say the cyclone has affected undersea digital cables, and it might take a while to get things back on track.
