Internet Access Still Down in most parts of Manila and Asia

Most parts of Manila and Asia are still suffering from slow Internet connection because of the disruptions caused by a powerful earthquake off Taiwan last December 28, 2006. According to reports the earthquake damaged submarine cables that serves as a backbone that connects the Philippines to the world by Internet.

Last night Apex (Manila Office) are still experiencing problems with their Internet Connection. When I asked them to go to 2wire.com and check their Internet connection speed, the result was 28.8kbps. This is dial up speed and won't work with Terminal Services.

Can they connect to the server and login? At times they can but it is really sluggish and often they freezed. Other users that are currently working at that time are also affected, and will cause traffic.
