    Default [AU/SG] Could be down because of....

    Well as you know AU & SG are down many of you may or may not know that there was a earthquake in Singapore and theres the database in Singapore and this could be affecting it.

    Internet access in Singapore severely affected by Taiwan quake
    By Farah Abdul Rahim, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 27 December 2006 1803 hrs

    SINGAPORE : Internet and phone services were disrupted in Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia following Tuesday's earthquake in Taiwan.

    The strong earthquake in Taiwan had damaged several undersea cables around the island.

    Many internet users had difficulty accessing sites online, especially US sites.

    The instant messaging service was also down.

    Internet users faced a long wait in downloading information on the internet.

    Some e-commerce activities were also affected as a result of problems with internet and telecommunication systems.

    Singapore internet service provider StarHub and Southeast Asia's largest telco SingTel say the earthquake caused disruptions to the undersea cables, resulting in slow internet access to some sites.

    Both companies say internet traffic diversion and restoration works are currently underway. - CNA /ls

    Because the au offices in Sydney are so close to singapore -.-

    Unless au has a few servers in singapore. I've heard a few people say that although I don't think it's true. Why not have them at the offices.

    I was being sarcastic.
    If they haven't moved then the habbo au offices are in sydney or around there. Sydney is is the fairly lower East part of Austraia, however singapore is very very far North West of Australia.

    "tis quite close. I looked on google maps"
    Are you sure you are looking at the scale and not just putting a ruler on the map and saying! Oh it's only say, 8cm away!
    4th year geography ftw

    So unless some of Australia's servers lie in Singapore (Not really much point to that) or a magical fault line has appeared connecting Sydney and Singapore I doubt that's the reason. I am from NSW and I can not connect to au. I guess I'll have to do my business on another hotel.
