Its because of this machan...Abut 11 dys back, a ship damaged the optical cable under the sea close to Singapore, now that is the main cable thru whic ALL sri lankan ISP's go, even SLT or LAnka BEll or Dialog...
I heard that the repair is a major one, and it has been occurred on the other side of control, where SL cannot handle, so repairs are done by Singapore govt. where SL ISP's have to pay, it is going at a very slow rate...still soldering is going on...So because of that whole of SL coneccetion nw goes thru a normal line under the sea which is very slow...
Hopefully the problem will recover within another two weeks time, but may be more sometimes also...
