True Adsl - Slow - Cable Broken In Taiwan...

[Firestorm123]

Hi,

does someone know what is the repair status with these broken cables? My TOT connection is still crappy and I'm ruling out possible causes.

Thanks

My speeds are up on True but it's acting erratically with random timeouts and high ping response times. My guess is that something is going on but can anyone else confirm?

Exactly like this with TOT connection also.

FLAG was repaired last weekend and traffic was restored on it last Monday. SeaMeWe should have followed a few days later, but sorry, haven't seen confirmation of this so far.

I'm on Maxnet, and I saw considerable improvement from Monday onwards, but I wouldn't say it's quite "back to normal" yet; that's if there ever was a normal. I hear there are still problems with SMTP sending on TOT. I think many ISPs heavily restricted or totally blocked SMTP sending when the cables broke in an attempt to stop spam abuse, and some of them haven't yet removed this blocking. My Maxnet definitely suffered from selective SMTP port blocking because I could nearly always access my mailserver on port 110, but not on 25, 25 or 587.
