airtel going slow , is it only in delhi or elsewhere?

[ranjan2001]

Last few days airtel is running slow 110-140kbps only on 256 connection. Downloading anything from rapidshare is too slow which I use to send files.
Airtel says its due to under sea cable fault& have posted this on their website.

An earthquake off Taiwan, measuring 6.7 - 7.1 on the Richter scale, has damaged the under-sea cable systems. The repair work has already started. Due to this you may experience slow internet browsing for some time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
