Yes! And I was one of them
Two undersea cables were damaged for unknown reasons, they are FLAG and SMW4. Luckily my ISP had a backup connection but due to the massive amount of people it operated at very slow speed ( I could barely browse some and not all websites)

I believe that Middle East had their servers running. Taking into account the number of people affected, the title of news should be

Internet split into two independent networks due to broken cable

... if not yet

Europe and America cut from the internet
