Bad internet connectivity

At present, we are plagued by bad/very slow internet connectivity all over India and some parts of Asia. At least, I believe this to be the case. I cannot even offer you a link to the relevant news item online as I am stumped without google access.

As of now, I have no (or extremely slow) access to several websites, but strangely (luckily) I have access to this blog and literaryforums.org.

Hopefully the problem, whatever it is, will be fixed soon. Slow internet connectivity is something I'm not used to of late, but I still remember the days of dial-up networking, and the frustrations of occasional disconnections. :-P

  2. I hope that the situation improves, my friend. I wonder if this is similar to the cable cut situation in the Mediterranean.

  3. I vaguely remember a news item similar to that one recently.

    Of course, it might have been fixed. Everything seems OK now.

  4. a day after Obama's inauguration, we got an email from Speedmatters urging us to lobby government to do something about the slow internet access across America. As if he doesnt have enough neglected services to deal with already

  5. Hi, Ed. It's been a while since we've met (figuratively speaking). :-D
