The network is rather slow right now. There are some network issues in Asia due to Japan-to-USA overseas cable issues. I had a really hard time upgrading WordPress, my FTP connection gets disconnects every now and then, thankfully it would auto resume and upload after a reconnection.
The internet has been around for several decades and I thought it would have been robust enough to overcome such problems by going through an alternate route. But it only seems to me that while browser technology and broadband gets adopted faster and faster, the underlying cables probably aren’t able to catch up or something.
We now demand faster downloads, we scream when a 30Mbps connection isn’t transfering just as fast. I think it’s time to stop inflating the bloody bandwidth value and lie more cables!
