Chances of Internet outage next week and what can we do about it?

[davejonesbkk]

So last time there were riots a few weeks ago they occupied a CAT office and caused problems with some of the international gateways, my internet was only affected for a few hrs but I'm wondering what th chances of something more severe happening next week and if there are any backup options?

Mobile data - I can usually rely on my phone working, and tether my laptop to that. Now that you mention it, I should probably top up my 3g dongle as well, I think I can get my home router to use that as a last resort

When the CAT cable was cut, their mobile service also went out (presumably True's did too).

Yes I was going say the same thing, it still has to hit one of the international gateways at some point

my True connection went on and off a few times this morning and then was fine most of the day, so far so good....

We duplicated all our web sites here to Thailand (in our offices) so if the cables are cut at least we will still be working on the local networks within Thailand.
