I meant to post about this shortly after it happened, but I was too busy waiting for webpages to load. ;p I know I shouldn't complain when the only ill effect I've suffered from a pair of earthquakes is a slow internet connection, but, I just wondered if anyone else in the Pacific Rim was experiencing much improvement yet. I can do about 25 KB/s down (normally max out around 7-800 KB/s down) these days -- which I have to keep reminding myself is still much faster than dialup -- which is pretty surprising! I'm truly spoiled... but at least the net connection is back -- it was out (except for accessing Chinese sites) for about two days. The quake ruined 6 of 7 cables running from Taiwan to North America, as I understand it, and damaged the 7th. I wonder if some companies will rethin their internet topology after this? Only sites with their own, Chinese servers got hits during that period -- MSN & Google, for example, not Yahoo.
Taiwan Earthquakes Suck ;_;

Thanks for the update! I certainly understand that my bittorrent speeds are not the highest priority 
Speaking of BT, though, we're downloading a TV show (legally!) at 224 KB/s! a new post-earthquake record! how fantastic! The bulk of this speed is coming from somewhere here in the East, according to WHOIS. and a few of the seeds are from the US and mexico -- decent speeds (up to 15 KB/s, not bad) from them too. Anyway. I hope others are experiencing improvements!
