[sanjith]

hi I test the speed of my internet in many sites I got the best speed results from here scanmyspeed
my results are
download=1.09Mbps
upload=0.87Mbps
I dont know the reason why my speed seems to be slow many of them said that if Cable Internet services share bandwidth with satellite Internet access.
If there are many subscribers using that same bandwidth, it can slow down the connection.
kindly guide me how to solve this problem .

Strange, but my DSL connection is showing 3Mbps(proven on download), vs. my current 1.5Mbps line....

Undersea internet cable breaks again, causes slow internet across Southeast Asia
BY AINES AMBER – SEPTEMBER 22, 2014

Several Southeast Asian countries, such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guam and Philippines, will be experiencing slower internet speeds as one major undersea internet cable breaks again, reports said.

A part of undersea cable called Asia-America Gateway or AAG was reported to have been breached somewhere between Hong Kong and Vietnam earlier last week and is still under repair.

According to the reports, cable operators from different countries will gather to repair it and is expected to be completed by next month.

The restoration works on the AAG submarine cable is said to begin on September 29, and takes a week to finish, subject to weather and sea conditions.

“Repair progress can be slowed down by unstable weather,” Vietnam’s FPT Telecom General Director Nguyen Van Khoa noted.

Authorities believe that dragging local ships along the Vietnamese shoreline caused the breakage of the cable, while others say that the design of the cable itself was poorly done.

“I must say that the AAG cable system was built to a below-standard technical design, which is the major reason behind its frequent fractures,” Khoa said.

He stated that investments in internet cables are costly and complicated, however, every cable results alliance between countries.

“The AAG is a 20,000-kilometer-long submarine communications cable system, connecting Southeast Asia with the U.S. mainland, across the Pacific Ocean via Guam and Hawaii,” Vietnam-based website Tuoi Tre News posted.

It was not the first time that the underwater cable was broken. Two months ago, the AAG cable system got broken and it took two weeks to fix it and return internet speeds to normal.

“Two years ago, part of the AAG that connects bordering areas between Malaysia and Singapore repeatedly broke, since it goes through overlapping maritime areas between the two countries. A number of boats stop in the said overlapping areas, so their anchors may have become stuck in the cable as sailors raised them and set sail, causing it to break,” Khoa explained.

pldt and etpi are part of aag but the former has bigger capacity kaya malaki impact sa kanila,

etpi main gateway is via apcn2

Mabagal as usual, lalo sa gabi. Sa umaga lang mabilis-bilis at may mga time na walang internet

Although middle pack (not fastest or slowest), my connection here in AZ is much better than its equivalent in NY. I'm satisfied.
