International Links Down?

Anyone able to connect to gmail? Most local sites are still accessible …

Whats wrong? Any idea?

***Update

I am not sure if i were to laugh it off or what, lots of bloggers are frustrated as they cant access their blog, and not to mention the loss of revenue too … hahaha - kukujiao.com is still up … up up up

Announcements from TmNet and Jaring are available here, and some discussions from Lowyat.net

It seems that there was this 7.1 Richter Scale Earthquake off Taiwan which caused this …

Cibai internet here oso the same. Damn slow. At least your hosting local, I can still read. I just spent 20 mins calling tmnet. Blood boiling only.

Yeap the earthquake did damage the lines. if you check jaring website they have already posted an announcement saying they are trying their best to rectify it. dunno why streamyx never said anything

Why no backup line?… A stupid earthquake can bring down our Internet access to a crawl???

otyew December 27th, 2006 at 3:04 pm

yeah, tmnet is totally down. yahoo and etc is not accessible, even in johor……

narrowband December 27th, 2006 at 3:23 pm

We called Tmnet ler -_-”.

But I guess they should put up an announcement by now.

I’m with a web hosting company; internet is everything to us.

Yo there.. access to Gmail seems to have gotten a bit better… at least it’s accessible as of 5 minutes ago.

otyew December 27th, 2006 at 5:15 pm

the line is totally congested, jus imagine out toll plaza lah…..everyone rushing in and everyone rushing out.

even idd calls are congested.

TheAngel: hehe - what to do? surf local sites lo …

menj: internet is not down, just that international sites are inaccessible only …

Neo: backup? ada ma, but slow, we used to have a direct linkage to US, but now if you try pinging some international sites it will be routed via HK

otyew: its the whole malaysia … singapore too, korea also …

yeap i think they did, after lunch … but the shit happened this early morning … dumb fucks!

walski: yeah better edy, can load my mails but still kinda slow

otyew: wrong scenario la, imagine after the toll, there is no more highway edy …all cars just keep on turning and turning there, going nowhere

Aaron Tan: hahaha

Funny I can access mu gmail, but my own site like cock lidat! somemore using a local host. WTF!!

CincauHangus December 27th, 2006 at 11:10 pm

haha.. i think there’s 3 T3 lines in Taiwan.. that’s about.. hmm.. 50-100gigabits? so now msia is deprived of that 50-100gigabits of bandwidth..

not entirely tmnet or jaring’s fault.. both of them are affected.. actually all local isps are affected..

what a way to end the year.. if it’s not up by the 31st.. i’ll cry of boredorm.. :(

lucky you earl.. time to move my blog locally. hahaha..

CincauHangus December 27th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
