Thanks to a ship, India and some other countries are facing a terrible internet problem. Now you might be thinking that how can a ship be related to internet? Well, here is how the story goes…
A ship anchoring off Egypt’s Alexandria coast, cut through the Indian-owned FLAG cable and also the SEA-ME-WE cable sometime of the day on 30th January, thus leading to an unprecedented disruption in international connectivity. Amazingly, the ship alone damaged the internet services in large part of India, Asia and Middle East. Duh? Government officials says that it will take nearly 15-20 days to get the things going again. Huh… You know what.. I am getting an irritating speed of 2kbps at the moment.
A mp3 song of 4 MB takes nearly 40-50 mins. What a life!
With no internet or rather very slow internet, we webmasters have nothing else to do. Of course i can do the tasks which can be done offline but it’s been really difficult to manage my sites these days. What worries me more is that ISP says another 15-20 days remains for the services to be in full effect. So i think i still have two weeks of this painfully slow internet service making my life a little terrible. Am trying to pass my time in some better way though. What are you doing now or if you haven’t been effected with this ship, then tell me what would have you done with not much of internet for nearly two weeks? What i feel without Internet: Hell falling upon us!!!!
