Felt the internet connection has been slow recently? Wondered why you’ve been seeing DNS error messages when loading websites? Blame it on Typhoon Nida! Yup, that’s right, according to Thanh Nien News the internet cable is broken again for Vietnam.

Typhoon Nida managed to damage the Asia-America Gateway (AAG) cable Tuesday 7pm (GMT+7), causing many internet users to experience slow internet speeds and I have been experiencing DNS errors when loading many sites.

Actually, this might be why my Xiaomi Mi Box suddenly won’t load up.

The 20,000 km long cable, is one of four cable systems connecting Vietnam to the global internet exchange and has the heaviest traffic loads. As we are still dealing with the Typhoon and the weather system is brought with it, there is no date yet for when the cable is likely to be fixed.
