Earthquake in Taiwan affects Ubuntu security updates
|
|
I guess by the time of this writing, almost everybody is already aware about the earthquake in Taiwan that distrupts communication lines from Asia to United States. I wrote this because I’ve grown tired of waiting for my Ubuntu Linux to finish its software updates.
Currently my surfing speed is somewhat very limited with only a handful websites hosted outside Asia is reachable. As most of my favorite websites are located outside the region, then I guess it’s time for me to start appreciating locally hosted website like FOSSfm and the local internet Yellowpages.
I hope the connection will improve soon, my ISP estimates that the internet connection will be restored back to normal in three weeks. I’m crossing my fingers now as I badly need a reliable connection to download Ubuntu software and security updates for my pc.

in the East, South East Asia is a prime indication of the state of Internet connectivity in that region, Poor. With one line down, people resort to many tricks, generally involving proxies, to get things working. But people are still suffering. Worse hit are the businesses. Sure I could go without Internet for a few days, and I hope a few other people can as well. Perhaps this will be an indication of Asian ISPs finally deciding on not being cheap
