Internet Disruption in Asia

The reason for Internet slow-down this past few days is due to earthquake happened in Taiwan on Tuesday, December 26. The two undersea data transmission cables under the Pacific Ocean were ruptured causing a massive break-down of all telecommunications in Asia. I read that Asia might still experience a slow internet connection until the coming New Year. Now that some people are net dependent in all their business and personal transactions, find it somewhat frustrating if they can't connect to the world wide web.
