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.
