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

[Bryan84]

Don't be daft.
Both the Australian hotel & the Singaporean hotel are located in the SingTel data centre in Singapore. There's no need to host them in Australia as it's significantly more expensive & the different between getting data from Singapore & Sydney is like a hundredth of a split second!! Hosting two hotels (both reasonably small) on the one cluster is more efficient than hosting them in two locations which are close. The only thing located in Australia are the Sydney Sulake offices, which are, purely that. Only staff use this location, the tech stuff is in Singapore.

As for the downtime, it could be any period from 24 hours to more than a week. However, everyone needs to remember that the more time the hotel is down for, the less $$ Sulake is receiving, not to mention the advertising revenue lost.

The earthquake which caused the problem was in TAIWAN, not Singapore. However, cables connecting other areas of the world from the SingTel data centre were affected by the earth activity, thus producing this problem. Some areas of the world (States in Australia in particular) will be able to access the site at some times, mainly because 2 of the 7 cables were damaged.

Thanks

Well said! :eusa_clap

there was a earthquake in Singapore

There wasn't. I'm in singapore and there was no earthquake. However, I believe some parts of singapore felt the presence of an earthquake. But yes, the internet here is pretty dodgy and everything's going nuts. But tbh I just hope the taiwanese people are okay.
