| 63. I don't know about the Middle East... |

Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 05:21 PM by arcos
But there are two cables that connect my country... the Maya I Cable and the Arcos I Cable. Last year the Maya cable was cut at least twice, and the Arcos cable was cut once. As I posted before, last time it was a real mess because both were out at the same time, leaving lots of countries in the Caribbean with pretty shitty internet service for about 3 days. It is really common, believe it or not. Edited to post link: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/blogs/hdw/?p=399 |
