Internet connectivity has slowed to a crawl today as undersea cable were affected by the recent earthquake in Japan.
Reports from ComputerWorld indicates the Philippines is one of the affected countries:
At about 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday, local time, an alarm signaled a cable fault on Segment 7 of APCN2, which connects Hong Kong and Shantou, China. The disruption caused a temporary loss of service on the undersea link but all customers that use the cable were soon shifted to capacity on other cables, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The APCN2 cable is owned by a consortium of 26 telecom operators from 14 different countries. The cable links Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan.
Looks like PLDT is the most heavily affected. Some sites appear down as DNS routing are not resolving.
We are lucky because our internet here in Qatar was not affected.
