Can't surf the net...

Local Internet access to overseas websites came to a crawl Wednesday after international links were disrupted by the earthquake in southern Taiwan.

Internet service provider TM Net said the earthquake caused a fault on Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 links between Shantou, China and Tanshui, Taiwan, and between Lantau in Hong Kong and Chongming, China.

Well, that was 4 days ago... Internet connection is back online but then very very unstable...

And today, TheStar Online has the headline that reads "It's 1997 all over again for Net users"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We may have just entered 2007, but it will feel like 1997 for most Internet users in Malaysia. Back then, slow dialup connections were the only kind available.
No one dreamed of downloading large files; modem speeds were too slow. "

It's been long since I waited so long for a page to load... seriously, I hope the authority can fix things up FAST.... (praying hard)
