So let us summarize.

I could'nt view google.com, Log in to MSN, Wikipedia, Friendster.com, SGf on the day it got compromised.

But 2 days later.

I could log on to STEAM, MSN, Bnet. But the speed of browsing is still down tremendously. I could'nt go onto Wikipedia, But i could go to friendster.com as well as SGF fast enough.

I could'nt update my Tricksteronline.

Found this on CNA: "These cables basically have little fibre optic lines running through them, thousands of them, and each one has to be manually traced and reconnected," said Mr Rob Enderle, a California-based technology expert. "Before you can even do that, you need to get the thing up off the ocean floor."

And these cables are like 8km under the surface of the ocean.

I've been trying 1 whole day from 29th Dec morning to 30th Dec (now) 8.17am before i can even connect to the net/MSN.

Then i go to yahoo news page & saw this

Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator, Singapore Telecommunications, said it had established a "command centre" to restore full service as quickly as possible.

"Internet access to all websites has been normalised for emailing, browsing and online transactions," it said in a statement. "Access to services such as gaming and video downloading, which require higher bandwidth, may experience some delays."

WHERE GOT! I only can connect to the net JUST NOW nia! Evil or Very Mad Really vomit blood.

Sagara SG

BT still crawling... Better than before though Laughing

nightzip SG

Can we write to Singnet say that they promised 256kbps etc but cannot deliver, so they should give us a discount?

It's their breach of contract in a sense right? Its time we retaliated. Cool

Agenda SG

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck

Its still so god damn bloody slow Fucktitwankfuckcuntybollocksfuck .

I swear I am going to start a revolution and start chopping heads off if speeds do not improve.

Did I say Fuck?

Embarassed

FWIW: Dear God, why is my internet still so fucking slow? Its been days since you fucked up my internet and I've had about enough of your BS. Get it fixed or else I am going to gouge out your eyeballs and shove it up St. Peter's arse. AFTER I've bitten off off your arms and used it to beat st. peter senseless. THEN I will cum all over your bleeding eye sockets. Roger?

Embarassed

Edit: And I will still make you fix the internet sans arms and eyeballs.

And Allah, you better pray he fixes it because you are next.

i think we should all be sensitive instead of whining about it. afterall this is an act of nature. it's noboday's fault.

do spare a thought for all the divers, technicians and engineers who are working 24/7 under extreme weather and temperature to fix the submarine cables.

scabstermooch SG

You are obviously an agent of Government/God/allah/ other*. Stop spreading your vile lies here. I am strong of heart and I will not be moved. You dress up your lies in a facade of reasonableness and compassion but I am not fooled. Judgement day is nigh. Repent now and I will spare you after I am done with your master(s).

* Delete as appropriate.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

PS: Tell your master(s) they have until 1201 hrs Friday.
