Whats happened to the internet

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Three major problems with the AAG cable, claiming bandwidth severely curtailed. Cambodia is connected to several undersea links, including the always troublesome AAG gateway cable, which provides significant traffic to Vietnam.

The VN government is quick to blame it on sharks whilst Vietnamese netizens tend to blame the government. Who is right? Maybe a VN government shark?

Yeah, now it's not just the AAG cable (which gets disrupted almost every other month), but two other cable systems as well.

The major problems ALWAYS seem to occur in the sections that Vietnam is responsible for, leading me to believe that their maintenance and also repairs are totally sub-standard.

That shark photo above is from 2014 or 15. Most damage to underwater cables is from shipping anchors and fishing nets, not sharks.
