Holy Crap! Where's My Internet?

My internet connection is f**ked up! Just heard the news two days ago that the earthquake in Taiwan busted the underwater cables. Hence, internet connection in Indonesia is creeping along at a snail's pace. The average internet user in Indonesia access foreign websites (mainly US based: Yahoo, Google, etc) everyday. Usually the bandwith goes through Taiwan, then Japan, and the US. But now, it has to go all the way through Australia or via the west line through Europe. Experts said that the repairs could take 2-3 weeks. Dear God, three weeks with this kind of connection?
