re: "Fixed already. There was cable ct bteween Moscow and St. Petersburg." Admittedly OT, but interesting for purpose of providing contrast, from Ghana: http://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/current1.html - Ghana Telecom (GT) has lost the underground network cable that provides communications to a number of major government offices in the Osu Castle in Accra, according to The Statesman newspaper. Bulldozer operative Collins Antwi is currently in police custody for causing unlawful damage to state property after his machine allegedly tore through the GT cabling as he worked on a site close to the Guinean Embassy. Around 7,000 users are thought to have been cut off following Antwis actions, including workers at the National Police Headquarters, the National Fire Service and the Bureau of National Investigations. The Statesman says that with the network down the running of the country will be a Herculean task.

What is wrong with Internet in Russia? Looks as they experience overall slowness (even phone providers are affected).
What is interesting - I could not find any official statement from ISP providers, so I need to ask my collegues in Russian ISP (I worked for them 10 years), or filter out thru many newspapers speculations to find the truth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Coluccio" <frank@dticonsulting.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 2:48 PM Subject: Re: What happen in Russia? re: "Fixed already.

I wonder what happens to clueless backhoe operators and contractors who dig without finding out what other cabling is buried in the area ... -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
