Yes, the whole web has been slow or down over the last few days, apparently due to the undersea cable's damage after the earthquake. The Taiwan link is a big pipe to NE Asia and across the pacific. Internal in HKG is OK but slow, whereas I have been unable to Google or Yahoo or access anything that might live on a trans pacific server for days. It's a bit better this morning.
I thought that the Darpa net, from which the web was built, was designed to be damage tolerant for this sort of occasion (or enemy action...)?
At least Pprune is back up and running
