That's probably not why you are having slow internet. If you hear about cable cuts in the Malacca Strait THEN you can worry.

Myanmar is not directly connected to Vietnam via sea cables specifically. The major connections to the outside world via the sea are:

Thanks. Might be other problem, but the internet slow down happened yesterday, especially to GitHub and a few other side.

Myanmar has its own cables: https://www.submarinenetworks.com/stations/asia/myanmar

Additionally the cable in question comes from Europe, so the Vietnam break shouldn’t affect Myanmar (which also has direct access to it) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SEA-ME-WE-3-Route.pn...

Internet infrastructure in Myanmar is still relatively underdeveloped, which is why it's slow. These cables are not heavily used for routing your traffic typically.
