To those who have deadlines to meet and clients to maintain, no amount of reasoning can make the world stop and wait for you to finish. For each day that we are fed with crappy internet connection, we lose customers. We lose revenue. If this will keep going on for another month, I'll probably lose my job.

I'm afraid the threshold is closer than I thought. Inquirer reports that repairs to quake-hit asia internet cables are delayed again which would take until the end of February to finish blaming bad weather and other technical difficulties.

We're having technical difficulties too. Servers dying due to high usage. There are things that needed ironing and they're not going to wait. In other parts of the world, business is usual. They tend to view things from their own perspective. They're not concerned how our internet connection here are. They're concerned about how their business is doing. If we couldn't show reliability in terms of service, we couldn't stop them from getting it elsewhere. Programmers in India will happily do my work for half my pay. Yeah, my clients will love that.
