China Internet Slow Again
It isn’t any news that the Internet in China is still slow and it bugs a lot of people I noticed .
My previous article about the slow speed of the Internet gets a lot of visitors searching for terms related to the incompetent structure of the Internet in China.
People ask the search engines:
“Why is the Internet in China slow”, others suffice with just typing “China Internet Slow” or in a different order, “Slow Internet China”.
There are also those that show their irritations:
“Terrible slow Internet in China”, “China Internet so slow” and my favorite “China internet slow again”.
I’m afraid I’ll be collecting more insights into the internet users frustrations in the coming time as it doesn’t seem the problem will be totally fixed before Chinese New Year. Just today I have had already 2 complete outages.

Well inter-net… so they are more centered on the “netting” side of the issue. The net is so thick… nothing can go out…hahahahahhahaha

Heh, I also came here by the search terms ‘China Internet Slow’
Because today it’s worse than ever (except right after the quake)… started yesterday evening.
By the way: During the last weeks/months I noticed that the champs at China Telecom seem to be playing with their bandwidth shaping:
- Limiting bandwidth per TCP connection for all TCP ports (to 5-20 KB/s), separately - that’s how it was for quite some time, until very recently. (This means that P2P like torrent etc. worked still very well, because there you typically have many TCP connections. But downloads via HTTP or FTP were dead slow. Workaround: using a download manager that connects to the server(s) multiple times and downloads different pieces of the file in different TCP connections)
then came
- Limiting bandwidth for all TCP connections combined, but only on TCP ports 80 (http), 21 (ftp) and 443 (https) (perhaps more, those I tried…) NOT for example on 22 (ssh) but with the weird effect that the bandwidth increased linear from very low to the maximum of my 2 MBit/s DSL within around a minute or so. Once the bandwidth is at maximum, it stays there. If you stop downloading for a few seconds, and then start it again, the bandwidth climbs again, but not from the initial low. Perhaps I should link in a graph - that would be easier than explaining
But… I’m too lazy right now. That’s how it was for the past few weeks.
Until today. Because today is special: 5 KB/s average on any port I try.

I just realised that the initial post was from tomorrow of last year
What does this tell us, except I should read dates more carefully? History repeating?

Patrick,
History repeating? Are you fucking Kidding..
Hello from mid 2009… the Chinese government turns down the bandwidth speed so they can spy on what you’re doing.
Fuck them.
