French Territories: Disruptions to internet connection possible until Nov. 11 due to maintenance works
Disruptions to internet connection possible in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana until Nov. 11 due to maintenance works.
Internet disruptions are possible through Nov. 11 in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana due to planned maintenance works on the Americas-II submarine cable. Users may experience temporary slowdowns or service interruptions. The maintenance works are not expected to impact mobile and landline calls and texts.
Commercial disruptions are possible, especially if operations rely heavily on internet access. Communication and security systems dependent on internet connectivity may also be affected. Interruptions to online services by private and government entities, including app-based transport booking and food delivery, are possible. Processing delays may also occur at airports. Delays in the works could cause prolonged disruptions.
Plan for communication and business disruptions. Consider alternative modes of communication, such as satellite connections, for critical business operations. Confirm the working status of security systems; account for possible transport and service delays.
