The internet is still broken

I’m at work right now and my comments yesterday about the internet being fixed were a little premature. It’s still broken. My connection at home is working OK, but in the office it’s just trickling through. For some reason I can still access WordPress though, which is why I’m writing this. The problems may take two weeks before they are resolved. The fiber-optic cables at the bottom of the sea are only two-thirds of an inch thick. It’s incredible that this telecommunications disaster is due to these tiny cables. I never realized the abilities of fiber-optics.

The problem at work is that we can’t access our backoffice, which means we can’t update live content. It’s pretty frustrating.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that it is mainly the sites hosted in Asia rather than all sites.
