Slow Connection…
By ET
If you have problems accessing my blog, blame it on the earthquake in Taiwan. Here is a mail I received from our network admin:
Since earlier this morning you may have experienced slow
Internet access for quite a number of international sites,
or even find some sites unreachable. Some popular sites
like Google, MSN and Yahoo are also affected. As reported
by our Internet Service Provider (ISP) for HARNET, the
recent earthquake in Taiwan has damaged some international
submarine cables, thus causing network congestion as well
as connectivity problem for Internet access. The cable
problem also affects other local universities as well as
the communication services of some other major ISPs here in
Hong Kong.Right now the submarine cable provider is working on emergency
repair. We will post latest update on our Intranet page.Thank you for your kind attention, and sorry for any
inconvenience thus caused.ITSC
