Last week, Internet traffic slowed significantly between North America and Asia.  One of the major fibre optic cables that links the 2 continents had been severed.  Within 24 hours, intercontinental Internet traffic was flowing again but much slower, just 60% of the previous capacity.  I have been closely watching our logs to see if it has had any effect on our overseas web traffic.  I have not been able to notice a significant drop in our traffic, in fact it seems to be as robust as ever.  Maybe the Dalai Lama is looking for a home in West Vancouver because we just had our first video viewed in Nepal.
