Problems accessing the site/too slow to load

[admin]

Hello All,

I am aware that many of our members from India are facing problems accessing the site or are experiencing long load times.

As some of you might be aware, two submarine cables belonging to Flag telecom and sea-me-we 4 got severed by a ship anchor off the northern coast of Egypt. This reportedly caused a reduction by almost 70% of the bandwidth available to ISPs in India. Right now we are in a bandwidth squeeze situation in India and I would assume that IT companies are getting priority access to whatever bandwidth is available.

Since shutterfreeze is hosted on a server in Dallas, we have to go through the already loaded data pipes. I can only compare this to Bangalore traffic during peak hours. (For years I thought LA was bad!)

It seems it could take more than a week to fix the cables. Till then this situation could persist.
