Twitter blocked in China

It has been 30 mins now and it has not come back which usually happens after 1-2 mins if it is a temp thing with the automatic sniffing…. 30 mins sounds kind of “official” to me… :-(

Something has been up today though – the transfer speeds between our Hong Kong and Beijing IDC’s as well as Hong Kong to our Nanjing IDC has been VERY slow and spotty. In that the speed fluctuates a lot. Something that backbone fibre should not do.

    Still can’t in the office on CNC. I logged into my home Mac with back2mymac and it doesn’t work there either – which I expect as it is CNC too and not far from the office.

    GPRS though or China Mobile – still works… maybe they feed up into China Telecom?
