Internet Connection Very Slow Lately?

If you’re from Asia, chances are, your internet connection is and will be extremely slow for the next couple of days.
Before you call up your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and start screaming profanities at them for having sucky service, here is a piece of news you guys need to know.
A segment of the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea cable network between China and Taiwan suffered a serious cable fault on Wednesday, causing Internet traffic to be rerouted onto other undersea cables and slowing Internet access for some users in Southeast Asia. – PCWorld
According to the article, repairs will hopefully be finished by August 20, next week.
Auuuugh. That’s seven (7) whole days of crappy internet! One (1) whole week! *dies* My downloads will take twice as long, sniffles.
Aaaaand, what about my WoW experience! I haven’t tried logging in since yesterday, but my fiance and some of my friends have been cranky the whole day. I’m guessing it’s been very laggy and the connection’s been dropping every so often. Waaah, and we have a raid tonight and this weekend. Auuuugh.
And, and, and, I can’t even play any of the FaceBook apps I usually play. Like Farmville and Rollercoaster Kingdom. My harvests in Farmville are probably withered by now and my employees in Rollercoaster Kingdom are probably going on a strike. *shivers from internet withdrawal*
Sigh.
Oh well, maybe it’s a sign that I should get out of the house. *grudge*
