the earthquake that shook Taiwan caused the severing backbone optic fiber that passed Taiwan.
As a result, link international that was provided by ISP (the internet service provider) in Indonesia and ISPs in all the
countries in Asia-Pacific was cut off.
“All of ISP in Indonesia used optic fiber as backbone especially, and made use of the satellite as the back up.
With the existence of this incident, all the most stagnant international channels now,” explained Sylvia when
being contacted detikINET, on Wednesday (27/12/2006).
At this time, said Sylvia, ISP was trying to get the connection to the provider of the alternative channel
through the satellite. However the step in this alternative was he admitted not more optimal,
considering the capacity that was provided the satellite not as big as that dumped optic fiber.
