Globe’s Update on the Fiber Outage

admin Leave a comment

Globe is doing all possible options to augment loss in bandwidth and to deliver a workable traffic to you our partners.

Earlier, we have activated our 10G capacity to Hong Kong to augment our Internet backbone, upcoming 2.5G in the next few hours.

With this additional IP capacity, we expect significant improvement in connection.

Further, Japan and US IP upstreams activation is ongoing.

On behalf of the Globe team your partner, I would like to ask for an apology for this unfortunate incident.

Regards,
FMCC

Dear Valued Customer,
As of the morning of 12 August 2009, several undersea cable systems have been reported down. While harsh weather is suspected, the precise cause is being investigated. More specifically, the following cable systems are down: APCN1, APCN2 and SMW3. In the case of APCN2, this morning’s outage has completely impaired all traffic coming out of the Philippines due to a pre-existing fault in the process of restoration.

Other systems such as C2C, EAC and TGN-IA are not affected, and we have not received any outage advice from their respective network administrators.

Customer circuits carried on APCN1, APCN2, SMW3 are affected. In addition, you will experience slow internet browsing because a significant portion of the internet bandwidth is carried by the affected cable systems.

We are currently working on restoring the affected circuits at the shortest possible time. We have other alternative routes (TGN-IA, EAC) available for use.

We appreciate your patience and understanding of this catastrophic event affecting the Asia Pacific. We will provide you with our first update at about 8:00pm tonight. You may also contact your Account Manager for further details.

Sincerely,
Gil Genio
Head, Globe Business

APCN Fiber Cut traced to Japan Earthquake?

admin 2 Comments

Info from PLDT about the Double Fault on the APCN2 fiber cut:

We wish to advise that as of this time, we are affected by an unfortunate incident of multiple international cable faults, particularly in the APCN2 cable system. While the exact cause is still to be confirmed, it is likely that the Japan earthquake which occurred yesterday, August 11, 2009 is the reason for the international cable faults. We would like to assure you, our valued customer, that PLDT is exerting all efforts in mitigating the effect of this outage, including the procurement of additional cable capacity from unaffected international cable systems.

Details of the outage can be found below:
APCN2 Faults:
1: Singapore-Malaysia Fault
Repair is estimated to be completed on August 14, 2009

2: China-Taiwan Fault
Cable fault occurred this morning at 10:45 am;
APCN2 consortium is now trying to implement the APCN2 catastrophic plan for dual failure in these segments
APCN2 NOC is now doing the mapping and manual patching in concerned stations

We shall provide regular updates on these outages. Rest assured that we at PLDT remain strongly committed to our relationship with your company.

Fiber cut slow down Philippine Internet

admin 5 Comments

Advisory: There is a major fiber cut in the Southeast Asian region that is affecting internet connectivity. Thankfully, BNS hosting is multi homed. This means our BGP routing automatically re-routed traffic to other internet gateways that were unaffected by the fiber cut.

From PLDT Advisory:

The APCN2 multiple fiber break is currently causing major slow down in ALL PLDT/IGATE internet access. Also, their EAC Cable is having multiple troubles as of the moment. Re-routing were already implemented thus incurring heavy traffic in the said cable systems.

From ASTI.Dost.gov.ph

Now confirmed that APCN2, C2C and EAC are cut. also unconfirmed reports of SMW2 and SWM3 are out. FLAG and TGN seems to be not had any issues so far.

It seems at this point, the fault is more on the South China Sea and the alarms I got seem to confirm that. For the geography, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:South_China_Sea.jpg

Circuits from Japan to SG, TH, PH are down, but not to HK. My perspective, yours may vary.

From ZDnet:

A cut in the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea submarine cable crippled connection speeds for users in the Asia-Pacific region on Wednesday, particularly in Singapore and the Philippines.

Users were sending updates to local forums and Twitter, complaining of slow connection speeds to sites hosted outside of the region.

According to a notice sent by Malaysian telco, TM Net, the cable fault was traced to segment 7 of the APCN2, which stretches between Shantou, China and Tanshui, Taiwan. TM Net traced the outage to Typhoon Morakot, which hit the region over the weekend.

Additionally, segment 1 of the APCN2 is also currently under repair. Repairs on segment 7 are expected to commence after work on segment 1 is completed.

Internet connection speeds are expected to return to normal late evening Aug. 13, according to the advisory.

Singapore operator, SingTel, confirmed the cable fault in an e-mail to ZDNet Asia, saying that customers can expect to face high latency as a result. It added that its STIX (SingTel Internet Exchange) Internet backbone provider is working on rectifying the issue.

A status update posted on InternetTrafficReport.com showed SingTel’s Singapore gateway registered a score of only 34 points, compared to the global average “health” of network connections, which was 86 points as at 3pm Singapore time on Wednesday.

The site first started registering slower response times and packet loss in Singapore at 8pm Tuesday evening.

Back in 2006, the APCN2 was taken out by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan. Internet access was reportedly badly disrupted and halted in some parts of Asia after the quake
