As you may have heard on the news, three cables connecting Europe to South Asia have been mysteriously severed. At first, I didn't know that Thailand was impacted, as most news reported that it mainly impacted India and the Middle East.
I had noticed over the last few days that my download speed was very slow. I'd run the adsl test in Thailand, and my speed was usually just under 2 mbps, but when accessing some sites in the U.S., it was 10% of that. After doing a little digging, I found out that they are rerouting a lot of the traffic impacted by the severed cables through what it described as Thailand's already inadequate infrastructure.
The good news is that the cable is supposed to be repaired in a week.
