The quake yesterday evening damaged the APCN2 cables and Sea-Me-We3 cables. The APCN2, 17,000 km in length, links China, Japan, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and other countries and regions. Malaysia relies on this route to access severs in the western part of the world.
The repairs to the cables can take 2 weeks to as long as 2 months depending on the complications. However we will see gradual improvement day by day as traffics are rerouted to other alternative lines as well as backup lines.
An undersea earthquake stuck off Taiwan around 8:30P.M. (GMT+8) on Tuesday. The quake comes 2 years after the great Asian tsunami, reminding us of the 250000 lives lost.
Most of you might experience slow of unavailable browsing of international websites. Jaring posted an announcement this morning confirming a disrupt on it's international data link.
Some forum users at lowyat.net are linking the quake with the slow internet speeds which become apparent around last midnight.
