Undersea Cable cut again!

[kalpik]

Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage.
Huge numbers in Egypt and India were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage, when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was cut.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throughout the region, including those in United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, also reported problems. International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem

oh! thats why my pings are so damn high all of a sudden,net is stable though.

[multi]

net is sometime stable but sometime just .... sometime having issue with ping with dns

[IronManForever]

Are these things deliberate?
I agree that for it to be deliberate, we'd need hybrid Scuba Divers from Greenland. Yeah yeah, carefully bred over decades..

[Faun]

and mine net connection is stable today after a long time

[NIGHTMARE]

thanks for sharing

[paroh]

ON mtnl also low speed

[kalpik]

So in total 3 cables cut and India is 82% out of service

[Kl@w-24]

82% out of service? Then I must belong to the remaining 18%

[Garbage]

hmm... So, I mut belong to 82% ?
But then how could I post here ??

[Arun the Gr8]

Oh so this is y my rapidshare/megaupload downloads are crawling... torrent downloads are okay though, reach a max of 70 KBps..

[kalpik]

82% out of service means that 82% bandwidth is affected. Not that 82% of connections are down!

[gary4gar]

No effect for me yet.
this shows how much bandwidth we have and how it is being underutilized

[kalpik]

Well, im getting less than half the speeds i used to get

[Hitboxx]

Hmm cut again? Nothing seems abnormal here now, but yesterday evening I wasn't able to open the forum at all, some sites opened fine, some didn't. Possibly for the same reason, or not.

[Ramakrishnan]

Yesterday I also doubted something amiss after I got a platry 4-5 KBps download speed in rapidshare. But otherwise my BSNL home 500 was quite Ok. Today morning also I got download speeds of nearly 182 KBps in mediafire.

[harryneopotter]

ohkkk... thats y .... mujhe laga virus ka chakkar hai ??? so stupid of me ..... thnx for the info buddy ....

[gopi_vbboy]

ya mee too.....getting slow speeds today in my BSNL H500

[Kl@w-24]

No effect here today. But yesterday, downloading from Rapidshare was a pain.

[naveen_reloaded]

i may be wrong .. but yesterday i did a tracert with bsnl... it passed via aitel servers...funny....

[kalpik]

^^ That's cause BSNL takes bandwidth from Bharti (Airtel).

[sandeepk]

Anybody using Tata Indicom? I am able to get 100 KBps for torrents on my connection of 2mbps, but direct downloads are like 10 KBps atmost. What is others experiance?

same here dude ....but torrent speeds depends on the location of seeders too ..... my torrent speed is varying 1-2 kBps to 170-175 KBps ..... and direct downloads are giving 2-20 KBPS ....

I am also using TATA 2Mbps.

whats the concept of pings??
</noob intrusion>

[amitash]

ping is the time it takes to transfer a packet of data from your internet connection to the required server...it varies depending on the location of the server your pinging, your net connection and connection type...I am seeing very high pings now too...seems like bsnl are re-routing their data to some other cable hence the slow speed.

[Cool Joe]

I guess that explains the pathetic download speeds I got this morning. And there's also a lot of packet loss, which may be due to this same reason.
