Pilipinas, slow ba internet niyo?! Slow na!

Internet Phail on August 12, 2009
Okay, so the Philippines isn’t very famous for their internet speed. In fact, for some who have gone abroad they all gush saying:
“It was internet Haven!”
“YouTube loads so fast!”
“The pages load so fast, I don’t even click them anymore!”
(okay so there may be something wrong with the last one)
So why is our internet slow today?
Here’s a very reliable source:
According to them the cause of slow internet speed:
1.Philippines and Singapore affected.
2.There is still internet, but slower connection
3.Problem is due to disruption in the underwater cables
4.The problem will be solved in around 24 hours, so it MIGHT be okay around Aug. 13
So conclusion, what can you do?
-Plurk
-Twitter
-Chat (but for YM, file sharing is a bit of a prob)
For a country that is strongly dependent on Internet, this is something quite alarming.
Hope our connection returns back to normal… which in other nations would be considered.. well abnormally slow.
