ZDNet reports cable cuts in Singapore:

    SINGAPORE--Internet traffic from Asia to the United States has slowed
    to a snail's pace due to two impaired undersea cables.

    "There appears to be a damage to some circuits on the China-US and
    SEA-ME-WE3 cables, about 30 km off Shantou in China," said
    telecommunications service provider Reach Communications spokesperson
    Martin Ratia.
