35. Tmnet Interruption

I am experiencing intermittent service disruption on east bound internet traffic to the US via Taiwan from Friday afternoon till now.

According to Tmnet, this is due to a faulty cable in Taiwan.

Tmnet by now should have in place an alternative route to divert traffic to US either by cable or satellite. But this has not been done even after two recent outages in Taiwan due to undersea volcanic activity.

This is not just for me but for millions of others using the internet.

I will not be doing any postings until the service is completely back to normal.

Maybe Malaysia should start looking into this than Space which many others are already doing.
