Everything is broken

Aaaah! Those blasted cable cuts are making life somewhat difficult here at AdNation Towers.

Being hosted outside of the region, AdNation is running a little slow today. Yes, even more than usual.

At least we still seem to be up, though - as I write, I can't access The National's website at all, depriving me of Keach Hagey's stories, and thus a major source of news (just joking! But not really...)

Amazingly, ArabianBusiness.com seems to be little affected - it's still as intermittent as ever, but hanging on in there.

Some are predicting some sort of domino effect, whereby corporate users deprived of their private networks will fall back on the public internet, putting it under more strain, causing more connections to fail - and so on and so on.

As this failed to happen in January, when the region suffered a couple of catastrophic cuts, I'm guessing things will just be a bit crap for a while.

Anyone got any more theories? I'll be taking a lack of comments as evidence of YET MORE DISRUPTION, by the way, rather than apathy.
