Any work in Armenia done through the Internet is suffering damage
since August 4 because of a broken fibre optic cable passing though
the territory of Georgia. Two times since the breakdown Armenia
completely had no Internet connection.
Monopoly-holding ArmenTel provides a very unstable connection via
satellite and does not promise any change for at least one more week
assuring that repair is under way to fix the broken cable on the
bottom of the Black Sea. ArmenTel is currently providing only 5%
access to the Internet. The satellite's connection capacity is 2
megabits. Cursing this no-way-out situation, experts also blame the
authorities along with the ArmenTel.
