Somethings actually PICHAK !

OK for those who did not know why our (Malaysia and mostly Asia) is so slow. On 26th December Yes the same date where over 1 million people were affected by the Indonesian earth Quake 3 years back. The earth Quake recorded 6.7 - 7.1 on the Richter scale just south coast of Taiwan, although 1 person was reported killed but there were going to be over 10 million heart broken over the Internet quality. A few major fiber cables which cater to major parts of Asia was damaged :( They were called FLAG(Fiber-optic Link Around the Globe) Telecom, East Asia Crossing (EAC) and Asia-Pacific Cable Network (APCN)--have since had some partial restoration. Here`s the BOMB - the so called FLAG cable is literally the BALLS of the Asia internet- imagine some one crushing it- that's how painful it it is . The rest of Asia suffers the same fate as FLAG caters to Hong Kong , India(not so bad -they have backup),Taiwan (duuh) Korea , Singapore and We (Malaysians) my friend are affected. All we could do now is just wait as the last news i heard was that FLAG had already booked a repair vessel, and that fixing its cables could take up to three weeks. Till then ....


1 for the Ballz of the Asian Internet
