Rep Power: 12 | Find playmates from singapore, thailand, Australia or Newzealand and you wont experience any lag or slow speeds. There must be gaming servers in Hongkong sort of places as well where there is hardly any impact. |

| Platinum Member | Ok so the repair ship has reached the accident site to repair 2 of the three cuts... Repair crews reach underseas cables in Mediterranean after Internet communication cut -- chicagotribune.com the best bit is that the third cable belongs wholly to Reliance ... they also coudn't be contacted for comment! check out the drastic drop in dns requests on opendns on the days of the accident.. ! ![]() (extreme right ) Last edited by StarK; 12-22-08 at 08:18 PM.

Rep Power: 0 | i have been experiencing the same problem as well. my question is that everyone says that their torrents are working as usual but mine arent. I am on the 799 plan so i should be getting download speeds of around 30-35 kbps but i am only getting around 20 kbps i did send a mail to customer care yesterday and got an automated response that said that they'll get in touch with me within 24 hrs. that hasnt happened. any ideas? |

Rep Power: 2 | Download speed have been rectified but the surfing speeds are still low and if u call the CC no. it will tell u that it is due to cable cut so it has not been fully rectified |

Rep Power: 0 | linsur not only rapidshare but from few days i m trying to download the last part of a movie from megaupload and after 3-4mb it starts getting disconnected grrrrrrrr This is sick. Seems they are playing at the backend. its better to reduce the speed and remain consistent with it rather then disconnecting every few mins. you end up doing nothing that way. |

Rep Power: 2 | Today I got a call from Airtel Tech Support in Bhopal , wonder why it was Bhopal when I live in Pune , anyway , he was asking if my internet connection is ok or if I am facing any browsing issues , I informed the executive that download speed is perfect but browsing is very slow in response he said that they found another crack in the Mediterranean undersea cable and that the ETA is by 4th of Jan 2009 , if I still face problems with browsing then I should contact Airtel CC in Pune . |

Rep Power: 2 | ok i heard that there has been another cable cut of the previous one which was fixed and it will be fixed in the 1st week of jan and could this be the problem why i am getting slow upload speeds no trouble with downloads in RS getting 50KB/s in my 384kbps plan. |

Rep Power: 2 | Its not due to cable cut. If you are in delhi. In many parts of delhi around 25th the servers were being upgraded and my speed was halfed for 3 days. It was visible mostly on browsing. I calles up customer care and they clarified that servers are being upgraded to handle increased load and at the moment backup servers are working and it will get rectified by 28th december and now its woeking fine. on my 256kbps UL i am getting 300kbps download and 260kbps upload. |
