Barely a couple of days after announcing the completion of 1 month plus restoration works of submarine cables off Taiwan, TMNet once again suffered a 30 minute hiccup of services on a busy Monday morning. All international links were once again down, or at least being routed through multiple countries - akin to taking a bicycle to UK instead of flying. What was even more baffling was that incoming links to TMNet's datacenters like MYLOCA and NETMYNE were not spared. We had no luck accessing those servers even from international trace routes. So much for hosting sites locally. On a high note however, Jaring's Datacenter at Technology Park Malaysia where we are hosted was alive and well, so the future, while not exactly blazing bright, isn't too bleak.
