I have covered the issues faced by many APAC coutries yesterday due to Taiwan Earthquake. Most of the service providers including Singtel, Starhub, MCI are badly hit by the submarine cable damaged.
It wasn't clear till today when the issue will be over. However i have confirmed news that most of the APAC providers have routed their traffic via Europe to avoid all the APAC cable issues.
I have starhub connection at home and I was playing a game yesterday. Suprisingly i was pinging better to europe servers. soon i realised that the routing has been changed and i confirmed the same with some operators. However i have noticed that its impossible to do anything even if the ping is low since the lag is huge. There is a major packet drop which you would only feel while playing games. Surfing works alright since it doesnt need a constant connection.
I shall update everyone soon on the resolution if any or the measures taken by telecom/internet operators in the region. Till then keep watching the space.
