Why has internet access been sucking lately?
Is it just me, or over the last several weeks the internet seems to be extremely slow, on all networks? This includes phone networks and the normal ISPs. Has the gateway come early and is causing this? Something else?

Internet connection can slow down in Vietnam as two international undersea internet cables are either undergoing maintenance or suffering other disruptions.
The Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) cable has been under maintenance since June 6 and it is not clear when this work would be completed, said a Internet Service Provider (ISP) representative who did not want to be named.
The maintenance work could affect internet connections through the APG, but the impact would not be significant and would be within calculations, the representative said.
Meanwhile, the Asia Africa Europe (AAE-1) cable encountered a problem on May 26. The management unit for the cable said the problem might have been caused by an optic fiber breakage on one of the cable's segments.
Many internet users in Vietnam have of late reported slow speed at certain times, and the customer service websites of several ISPs have seen feedback saying their users have problems when accessing international websites like Facebook or Google.
The representatives of certain ISPs said Internet connection has been re-routed to other cables to maintain normal Internet speed.
The APG cable runs 10,400 kilometers (6,460 miles) under the Pacific Ocean, linking Japan with Hong Kong, mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The AAE-1 is a 25,000-km submarine communications cable system running from Southeast Asia to Europe through Egypt.

I have been getting catpach pages quite a lot to get on this site and just this site ...
Yes, it's like it's suffering from blood clots or something. Maybe it's all running through a giant Chinese mega-server now, who knows.

Last night was the first time I noticed anything strange.
I struggled to get a connection to BBC iPlayer.
But apart from that it's been honky dory for me on ezecom and maybe a little laggy (but not sure) on smart.

When you experience internet slowdowns, first thing to do is googling for "internet cable Vietnam". And ...bang... 9 out of 10 times there's a recent news article describing how yet another internet cable has broken down, is under repair or maintenance.
