Slow Internet? An undersea cable, America Gateway (AAG) submarine cable system is reported to be faulty recently and this is causing a slow down of the internet traffic between South East Asia and the US. Considering most of our online content comes from US sites, this would greatly impact majority of Internet users in the Malaysia. According to Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), the restoration work for the submarine cable faults will begin on Wednesday, 1 October 2014 and shall completed on Monday, 6 October 2014. https://www.tm.com.my/OnlineHelp/Announcement/Pages/RESTORATION-WORKS-TO-REPAIR-SUBMARINE-CABLE-FAULT-.aspx
