Undersea Cable cut again!

[kalpik]

Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage.
Huge numbers in Egypt and India were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage, when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was cut.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throughout the region, including those in United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, also reported problems. International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem

[IronManForever]

Are these things deliberate?
I agree that for it to be deliberate, we'd need hybrid Scuba Divers from Greenland. Yeah yeah, carefully bred over decades..

 

[Faun]

Oh so this is y my rapidshare/megaupload downloads are crawling... *www.msgking.com/images/emoticons/smileys/smileys15.gif torrent downloads are okay though, reach a max of 70 KBps.. *www.msgking.com/images/emoticons/smileys/smileys78.gif

82% out of service means that 82% bandwidth is affected. Not that 82% of connections are down!

 

[gary4gar]

No effect for me yet.
this shows how much bandwidth we have and how it is being underutilized

 

[kalpik]

Well, im getting less than half the speeds i used to get

 

[Hitboxx]

Hmm cut again? Nothing seems abnormal here now, but yesterday evening I wasn't able to open the forum at all, some sites opened fine, some didn't. Possibly for the same reason, or not.

Yesterday I also doubted something amiss after I got a platry 4-5 KBps download speed in rapidshare. But otherwise my BSNL home 500 was quite Ok. Today morning also I got download speeds of nearly 182 KBps in mediafire.

 

[Ross]

Well, im getting less than half the speeds i used to get

I am also getting slower speed while surfing and downloading.
I thought something is wrong at my side..... thanks for info....

[gopi_vbboy]

No effect here today. But yesterday, downloading from Rapidshare was a pain.
