Second Internet slowdown likely

Hong Kong (dpa) - Hong Kong internet users were being warned of a slowdown
in connections Tuesday, as work and schools resumed after the holiday,
putting extra pressure on the network damaged by the Taiwan earthquake last
week.

The warning came as the Telecommunications Authority admitted the damage to
the undersea cables was more serious than originally thought.

Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, the acting director-general of
telecommunications, Y K Ha said it would be some time before full internet
services can resume.

"When the ships arrived at the scene for inspection, they found the damages
were more much more serious than we thought," he said.

"So we now estimate the time taken to repair and resume normal operations
will take much longer."

Asia was plunged into internet chaos Boxing Day when an undersea earthquake
measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale struck Taiwan's southern coast.

The quake and its aftershocks damaged four of Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom's
six undersea cables, cutting off or slowing down the voice, data and
internet connections of many Asian countries with India, Europe and the US.

Most networks have resumed service after re-routing connections, although
many are still suffering delays during peak times.

Originally, it was estimated the repairs would take up to two weeks.
However, it is now believed it will be the end of the month before full
service is resumed.

Man that sucks.

I need my crack everyday... I can't live without my crack.

Surely there has to be better way to find out if if something happened to
the internet cables ?

Gjez man.

It took 48 hours before I learned about this.

SUCKS.

Bye,
Skybuck.
