Anybody feeling the quake in China?

[sorn21]

It is just me or has the 'net been proper slow of late?

I'm putting it down to the fact that the quakes caused a hell of a lot of disruption in the Chinese servers.

Anybody else been feeling the slow down?

EDIT: Yes, I know, the quake was in Chile.

How about all of it? There have been no Earthquakes in China, and if there were, why would it affect your UK internet?

 

[Hamzter]

Maybe he's reading a 2008 paper? There's been no major earthquakes in china of late

The quake in Taiwan damaging cables linking China to the US caused issues a two years and a month or two back. I don't think the problem is ongoing though.

Go read the news again.

I'd like to, but I can't, the nets too slow..

Okay, so it's Chile... Anyway, perhaps it's not directly related, but for the past day or so the nets been impossibly to use slow. Also many pages refuse to load at all.

You shouldn't have access to the internet, it's obviously above you. Either that or reinstall it.

Chile, Japan. Virtually the same place. I can understand why you would mix them up. Especially as both have massive influences on the Uk broadband speeds.

Maybe he's using dial-up.

Well, China, Japan... I can understand how you would mix them up

Anyway, I've had limited contact with the outside world for the past week, too much work to do, so excuse me for not keeping up to speed with everything. I heard there was a quake through a friend.

And as I said, the nets been too slow to check it.

Any slow performance will be your local connection. Come and sit in our datacentre with your laptop + wifi and tell me the internet is slow .
