Almost 80% of Indonesian overall internet capacities has gone down today.
Thus, majority of Indonesian internet users are unable to connect to outside,
non-IIX, servers.
This is due to an earthquake at Taiwan which cut the fiber optics links used by most Indonesian ISPs to connect to a tier-1 internet backbone there.
An evidence of a weak infrastructure we have.
So, what we can do about that?
The problem is not simpy on the Indonesian infrastructure, but it exposes the global networks’ fragility.

Yes, wired networks will always fragile, that is why wireless technology attracts implementors, it is less fragile.
Fragility, however, always exist, and we can only minimize fragility by redundancy. That is what Indonesian infrastructure did not have.
I remember one of the goal of initial internet research by US military was to guarantee communication in nuclear war.
Are they aiming too high?

Sepertinya inet di indo blom pulih deh re-routing jaringan cuman buat sementara, soale taiwan gov. bilang butuh kira2 sebulan buat perbaikan.
Beberapa ISP emang ada yg ga terkena masalah ini *kena sih, cuma dikit*, karena punya backbone alternatif melalui satelit dgn hub di eropa. sayangnya sebagian ISP masih tergantung ama backbone serat optik

that is indo’s problem, not them.
3 minggu (1 bulan) adalah janji mereka untuk memulihkan kapasitas sambungan total (100%)
tapi mereka bilang, sekitar 80% kapasitas sambungan bisa dipulihkan dalam 1 minggu, and they just exactly do that! koneksi indo pulih kurang dalam 1 minggu, mungkin karena sharing bandwidth.
I believe Indonesian overall bandwidth usage is far less than the total bandwidth available through their supplied backbone, so it should be fixed already.

I think, I agree with you at this point
