I have been getting intermittant problems with mail, only mail all day.. I just put it down to a crappy internet day. We have them from time to time..
Web sites have been fine here.. but mail is dead.. very strange. As you can see I have no problem posting here.. But according to this breaking news the earthquake close to Taiwan is going to cause more trouble for up to three weeks... Quite scary as it affects my business... Makes you realise the internet is not that immune to the kind of catastrophes it was designed for... Quote:

Wow, so that's what's going on. I kept resetting my router, power cycling it, etc. I eventually just left my place and walked around a bit, hoping it would clear up by the time I got back.
It was really confusing because even the big sites (Apple, Google, etc) were slow as molasses, but they still kinda worked. Normally when your Internet access goes down, it goes down HARD. Oh well, I'm actually kind of relieved that this is a big overarching problem and not something I'm going to have to take up with my ISP. Because I know that would never get fixed (don't know the language + customer service in China makes the US look damn good). I seem to be having a temporary period of usable access... can't get on AIM, but I can browse AN and other sites relatively well. |

Geez. Isn't it amazing that everyone 'else' knows what's going on, but *not* the very people involved in the problem?
And the cables may take three weeks to fix? Ack! Sounds like the disruption greatly affected the Asian financial community, stock market trades (etc.) in particular. I wonder just 'how' they go about *fixing* cables that are lying on the ocean floor? Anyone know? Submarines? Repair guy with backside showing as he crouches down to work on the cable? Okay, maybe not. |

It's very strange because web access is fine for us in Thailand, but mail is still totally screwed. It's interesting that you say you are having problems with major web sites Luca. My experience is almost totally the opposite.. Connecting to my sites in the US was slow, but Apple, Google etc. have been fine. As well as AN. So I kind of took the same approach as you and thought that it was a local ISP problem, and that it might go away in a day.. I had also been downloading a large torrent over Christmas and was beginning to wonder if my ISP had blocked me, or torrent traffic, and taken some other stuff down at the same time... They are not that bright here, but do try to follow the trends of other ISPs! As it stands today I get sporadic mail access, any kind of P2P except skype is dead incoming, but fine outgoing, and web access is about the same! I would have thought it was a lot more important to keep mail access going than web access, but there you go... It's funny that yet again .Mac access is crappy, specially for mail as it needs to keep calling home so much.
