Bandwidth crazy companies (or individuals) like us, this one's for you.

The only sane broadband provider that seems to have been less-affected
by Taiwan earthquake -- that is, Smart Bro (see user responses here
http://www.pinoytechblog.com/archives/broadband-providers-performances-after-the-quake#comments
) has joined the others. After almost 3 weeks of not failing us, this
back up connection of ours finally gave up. Today is our worst day --
Globe Broadband, unusable. And now, Smart Bro. This spells tragedy as
we cannot upload files to our US clients.

I'm sure you guys are having some problems with your internet
connections too since the Taiwan earthquake late last year. And you
might have done something to temporarily solve the problem and serve
your employees well with a better-if-not-very-high-speed internet
connection. Would you like to share this with us? Or am I just
optimistic that something can be done when the real answer would be
"wait till the fiber optics are fixed" :D

Any thoughts?

-Arnold

Hey Arnold,

I haven't noticed Smart Bro to have bogged down at any time... It's still very much up and running down at my end. But you do raise a concern here -- what _would_ we do if all our Internet links fail?? What about Internet via satellite?
