假如你身處東南亞區(qū)域，今日可能是個差勁的日子。因為為東南亞提供網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)的要害海底電纜控制電纜開裂，導(dǎo)致這一區(qū)域網(wǎng)速下降至“蝸牛般的速度”。這或許可以解釋為何今日許多人的網(wǎng)速如此之
慢，包括這篇文章作者。

Saigoneer網(wǎng)站援引越南報導(dǎo)稱，銜接?xùn)|南亞和北美的高寬帶海底光纖電纜體系A(chǔ)sia-America Gateway，在香港與越南之間某處發(fā)作開裂。越南FPT電信(FPT Telecom)一名高官已經(jīng)向當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w證明此消息，如今還不清楚事端原因。

There’s bad news if you’re in Southeast Asia today after a key cable responsible for providing internet to the region broke, sending browsing speeds plummeting to a snail’s pace.

The news at least explains why the internet has been so lousy for many people today, including this author — so we can put those conspiracy theories on hold for another day.

Saigoneer.com cites Vietnamese reports that claim an Asia-America Gateway (AAG) cable has been breached somewhere between Hong Kong and Vietnam. An executive from FPT Telecom confirmed the incident to local media, although it isn’t clear how this happened.

Yes, irony of ironies, the Saigoneer post itself is loading intermittently for me such is the disruption caused with ISPs here in Bangkok, Thailand. (Even my VPN is having issues loading on this spotty connection.)


      如此重要的光纖電纜出現(xiàn)故障。令相關(guān)區(qū)域受到極大的影響，生活、工作受到非常大的限制，民眾苦不堪言。希望此次電纜斷裂問題可以快速查清并解決。同時更高質(zhì)量更高速度的光纖光纜也成為需求的對象、新的議論話題。

      值得注意的是，受到影響地區(qū)的人們紛紛希望能夠盡快回歸正常。但就目前來看，此次海底電纜斷裂的原因并未查清，同時也還沒有修復(fù)較新海底電纜斷裂問題的時間表，目前已知的唯一有效辦法就是增設(shè)多條海底電纜作為備份連接。（遠(yuǎn)洋控制電纜）
