Q: Have you experienced difficulties reaching Internet ?
Yesterday, Internet access was dead to me. No matter what I did, could not get access. Today, it has been on and off, can not stay in more than 20 minutes.
It this wide spread or just me. I overheard China Telecom had a massive failure yesterday, still working to finiosh repairs. Is that true ? Any comments will be appreciated.
12 years 3 weeks ago in Web & Technology - China
yesterday was offline. today haven't experienced any major outages except for slow web pages which can be expected.
I also heard the China telecom aswell but no solid news report on that yet
there was sth going on with the wife of an official. turns out she is a suspect in the death of a brit business man. i did not check the date of that article so i dont know if it is recent. if it is recent the filters must be working over time. i did have trouble accessing some normal every day sites. google has been awful the past few days.
GuilinRaf:
Are you having the same trouble I am having? You get to google, enter your search query and immediately get a page with "This Webpage Not Available...."?
Maybe it's easier to shut down the net than to delete all our playful threads
all Hugs fault
GuilinRaf:
Hey! Our playsite was taken down!
I wonder what set off the takedown? Must have been the dress-code Hugs and Jnus had for their servants...
GuilinRaf:
Cool! Friday the 13th it is!
I just KNEW we were having too much fun with that other thread...
HugAPanda:
HEY!!!! If we're gonna be blamed for crap, then let us at least have fun with it! 
philbravery:
One good thing about it
we now know with out a doubt why we don't get many new people
joining in.
they are all laughing their asses off
HappyExPat:
Maybe they do not wish for the masses to know the NK rocket launch failed........
GuilinRaf:
The rocket did not fail! In an example of The Supreme Leaders genius and vision, it turned into a submarine in mid-flight! Something not even American, Russian or Chinese rockets can do! And just in time for "Grand papa's" birthday bash!
They're scared of a certain group that is threatening to take down the GFW... Trying to beef up security.
HugAPanda:
Yeah, I don't think there is any stopping them. Not with what they've already pulled off around the world.
Damn!
Now even looking up things like "foreign language bookstores" on different search engins results in "Page Not Available"
Son of a B!
It's been REALLY slow, and Google is more censored than ever. Even casual searches like "bakery" or stuff like that get google to stop working for a few minutes. It's unbearable.
Yeah, I noticed that my internet has been slower in general this past week. Also, the times when it is not available have increased. It's really annoying.
Someone told me they are upgrading the great firewall of China and thats why its been glitchy lately.
GuilinRaf:
So, instead of intermitent shut down we will have total shutdown?
xunliang:
I'm not sure. I dont think my friend knows much either. I think its just an upgrade to the firewall. not sure how it will effect us though
Mr_spoon:
Apparently the people regulating internet said "fuck it" and randomly mashed a bunch of buttons to see what would happen.
GuilinRaf:
I think you have hit the nail on the head Sr Spoon!
Does anyone know what is the Chinese equivalent for "Fuck it"?
