This is assinine. As the newer developing countries integrate with the growing Internet, it can easily bring down the nation to a grinding halt given the frequency with which these cable cuts are now happening. Its frustrating to be logged on with a broadband that works slower than a dial up! Damn!

Nevertheless, it reminded me of the good old days of shitty Internet connectivity and the all the prayers sent towards the sky with ample cursing of the nuts sitting over the sprawling telecom infrastructure. Frankly, had it not been for them, I would have been writing this blog in the first case!
