Internet Access Slows Down in South East Asia

If you’re like me, then you’re probably pissed off right now at how slow your internet is. You might have problems playing your favorite online game, or it’s taking you half an hour just to upload a picture on Facebook. Did some research and apparently this is caused by a disruption in the undersea cables in Asia. So… relax a bit. You’re not the only guy experiencing the slow down. There’s a good chance almost everyone in the Philippines is. Here’s a snippet of the article I’m talking about:

A segment of the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea cable network between China and Taiwan suffered a serious cable fault on Wednesday, causing Internet traffic to be rerouted onto other undersea cables and slowing Internet access for some users in Southeast Asia.

Man. Simply annoying. Article is from PC World.

    The last time a major outage happened was in December 2006, when quakes off Taiwan severed several cables at once, causing the Net to go down.

    again major problem on our net.

    And just when an admin at RF PoA pm’d me if I would like to be a GM at the game, this really sucks, I was excited about being a GM, i mean, its been my dream for quite some years now, and..why the hell did this have to happen? I can’t even open our forum, much more log in the game, hope they’ll wait for me until the internet here at PH is fixed.
