Internet speeds in India, especially for customers of Bharti Airtel, Tata Communications and state-owned BSNL and MTNL are set to be disrupted for the next 20-25 days, after a key undersea cable, carrying data traffic across 14 countries, from Singapore to France, was cut off the coast of Egypt. Two other key cable networks, linking Asia to Europe, were also allegedly damaged.
I actually felt it few days back when it started and I thought my internet connection has bonkers but then we see so many news. It looks like we are so much dependent on internet that someone can actually easily affect your life if he can turn off internet around you, nothing will work, no ATM, no TV, no Phone, No Business as things are not highly dependent on internet, even you will have hard time in travelling because if there is no internet, you can't even book ticket online and everyone will rush to railway stations, booking counters, airport and believe , it will chaos everywhere ..
So what is your ISP , is it working good ?
