Internet connection is very slow since yesterday morning. Our company is connected to two major broadband facilities, Globe and Eastern Telecoms which apparently have been affected by the recent double breaks in the international fiber-optics cables.

Back home, I’m also connected to two DSL providers, PLDT and Globe. Both are affected too by this major network outage.The term they are using is “international cable break between China and Taiwan.

According to some news sources, these cable breaks have been caused by the recent tropical storm Morakot in Asia. This is the same typhoon that devastated some provinces in the Philippines and left about 25 people dead and cause a lot of land slides in Baguio also.

What makes me furious about this incident is that, all of the internet providers could not provide a definite date or time on when they can fully restore the normal operations of their services. So much for their ” bleeding edge technology”!
