India is experiencing a decrease in the overall Internet Connectivity speed and this is accounted to around 50% of the normal speeds. The main reason behind this is the Fibre Cut at SEA-ME-WE 4 undersea submarine cable system which connects South East Asia and Europe. The whole project is run by 16 different International Telecom companies which includes top Indian Telecom companies like Tata Communications, Bharti Airtel which cover a major consumer base in India, hence their customers would be the most effected ones.
Atleast 3 different under sea cables have been broken, out of which the cable located near Italy is going to effect the Indian Broadband Connections. The maintainence and repair work has already started and would be continued for the next four days because of which the impact is going to disrupt the service atleast for the next few days. This is the time when you need to Optimize Internet Connection for making the most of all the speed you get and not just waiting for the higher speed unless the repair is completed.
In the year 2008 too, there was a similar issue with the whole country waiting for Internet Bandwidth which was lost due to International undersea cable network breakage. If there is some issue with some websites not loading, then you cannot blame your ISP now for the Internet Speed.
Ok.,,, I see… and I thought my 2 yr old modem BSNL was malfunctioning… let hope it get faster … coz BSNL became quite fast during IPL bcoz of the free speed upgrade
User’s can also try switching over to different DNS servers..like Google DNS or Open DNS
I’m using open DNS and I am facing the problem too
