Taiwan Earthquake Affects Connections(Need help)

The.Boi · 01-03-2007, 01:07 AM

I'm pretty sure that those in Asia are experiencing very slow connection speeds due to the taiwan earthquake that destroyed 3 out of 4 of the undersea network cables. I read in the paper(forum page), where someone posted an article saying that it is possible to use an australian proxy temporary so that your connection wount lag that much. It might just be a rumor, but I would like to know if it is true.

That is what's amazing about the internet. If a certain area is knocked out, only those servers (and websites) in that area are down. It will always find an alternate path. Remember the US blackout of 2003.
