I am not to sure what has happened, as the internet should be SLOWER after the cables where cut

But today i notice all my internet pages where downloading extremly quickly ( much quicker then before )

so i did a speedtest and here are my results

normally it would only show 2000 download,

So , what has happened? .. why is my internet DOUBLED in download speed???

Less bandwidth being used would be my guess....

just looked at the Thai Stats on www.speedtest.net and was also a bit shocked to see Maung Rajburi to have a download speed of 13,000 ??? while every where else averanged 2,000

strange

It appears that some ports have been blocked where the lines were cut - thus I suspect a lot of torrents aren't running.

Unfortunately, it seems that some other ports have been blocked as well, I'd guess they are keeping the remaining cable for HTTP and mail traffic only.
