Pakistan cut off from the world, again
Friday 25 March 2005
Once again Pakistan was cut off from the rest of the world, and indeed itself. Apparently the power supply to a section of the Fibre Optic link to FLAGs link was severed during construction work by some factory owner in Gulbai, Karachi.
Of course since most ISPs are just resellers of bandwidth and not 'real' ISPs we were cutoff even from those few websites hosted in Pakistan (no peering, why not??).

There were problems reported as early as 1pm though ISPAK says that the it lost connectivity at 3pm. Problems persisted until 8pm.
