Two ships suspected of cutting undersea internet cables have been impounded by authorities in Dubai.
The cuts happened in late January and early February, when two undersea internet cables running to the middle east were broken in quick succession.
At one point up to 70% of bandwidth to the area was lost, causing a dramatic slowdown of internet access which lasted for two weeks.
