Slow Internet Access in Singapore to Overseas Website

I can safely say that it has been verified. There was an earthquake of 6.7 or 7.1 on the Richter scale just approximately 20+ km off the coast of Heng Chun, Taiwan.

As we all know, Heng Chun is one very significant location for many male Singaporeans. I worry for the safety of those whom are currently on site.

Meanwhile, the tremors severely damaged many of the international submarine cables snaking through the Pacific Ocean, some of which carry quite a heft of South-east Asia’s communication links. Not only did it kick Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia back into Internet pre-historic data transfer rate days, it also placed a heavy load on the unaffected links to the rest of the world.

So, if you realise that your MSN messenger is lagging, or would like to know the reason why all your friends are offline, there you have it.

Time to get a life and do something other than World of Warcraft!
