Hey everyone:
As you may know, last Wednesday's earthquake in the Pacific knocked out
a lot of the submarine internet lines to North America, and since then,
our overseas internet access has been pretty dismal from here in Beijing.
I'm curious about everyone's experiences and possible solutions. Also,
is there a difference if your provider is China Net Corporation (CNC) or
China Telecom? (Exoweb's is the former.)
At Exoweb, we can hardly access North American or European websites.
We've switched to the Taiwan Debian apt mirror ftp.tw.debian.org because
the mainland mirrors have problems. We were considering proxying our
office traffic through our server in Hong Kong---it was okay yesterday,
but today it's unusable. We might consider a dedicated server in
Malaysia just for a month until things improve.
How about you guys?
Here are two ping/traceroute reports to hk.exoweb.net and us.exoweb.net
from our office in Beijing using the mtr tool to show ping times and
packet loss:
