Pakistan's internet link crippled

[404 Not Found]

Pakistan has more than 10 million internet users
A fault in an undersea cable has crippled many of Pakistan's internet and mobile phone links overseas

Hmm...does this mean a lack of spam? What will Norton Anti Virus customer support do? All I ever got from pakistan was spam and useless BS that was a waste of bandwidth.

I am only wondering what all the companies who outsource there customer support will do, since most of it goes to Pakistan and India...be it only temporary, it is somewhat amusing to me.

I'm wondering how the hell 10 million people used one cable

[Ilya]

thats another victory against the terrorists, i guess

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Why can't someone sever China's link? That would definitely cut down on spam/hacks/miscellaneous bullshit. They don't seem to care what happens in the rest of the world.

EDIT: PS - France too. If I get one more connection from wanadoo, I'm going to fucking scream. They don't give a crap.

EDIT2: Tom Cruise is insane. For reals.

That might rid of the Chinese farmers!

Speaking of Wanadoo, I just left their Internet service because they're a rip off. I've found some rather unknown ISPs and chosen a really cheap one.

A two thirds of the price of my old 512Kbit for a 1Mbit.

Service is really good too, I was worried.

Because that would probably destroy what little freedom the Chinese people have.

It's one cable but with several fibre optic runs. For example, one of the transatlantic cables, FLAG Atlantic-1, has a capacity of up to 4.8Tbps.

Didn't understand that and don't have the will power to google it

I work for the home office and I sent an email from my work account to my dad today containing the phrases "terrorist", "osama bin laden" and "al quaeda"

ah fuck, now the rest of them are going to move to norway too..

[DoTheFandango]

No one wants to move to Norway. Don't kid yourself.

then you should come and see what kind of people that live where i live..

Norway has the greatest fucking foreign policy in the history. Whenever a refugee comes there, they send them to some 100-man village in northern norway and after one winter, the guys go home by free will! B)
