A somewhat biased view on China…
I’m not sure I want to say thanks to Christophe for forwarding us this news… We were getting close to the expected date for the completaion of the reparation of the Internet Cables that were damaged near Taiwan during a 7.2 erthquake last December 26!
Well, they just discovered another damaged section of the cables. They are now expecting to finish the reparation around mid February! And they are not even sure of this!
The rest of the repairs would be completed by the middle of February, if weather permits.
With the Chinese New Year around the corner, I don’t expect to have a decent connection before the end of the Chinese New Year, end of February. Two months to repare “The Internet”, can you imagine that? I’m wondering what is the cost of such a breakdown…
As Chris says: The Year of the Pig will bring a faster internet
