7.1 Taiwan Earthquake Damages Philippines Internet Link

THE 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan early Wednesday damaged the Philippines internet link. This causes some services to be unaccessible.. even internet cafe's were forced to close their shops.

Affected telecommunications companies/ISP were Globe Telecommunications, BayanTel, Digitel, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Pacific Internet, and Eastern Telecom.

It seems that even the internet is vulnerable to disruption of service. As of 12:40pm, some of the connections was restored and some still experiencing intermittent internet connections.
