I can confirm that, was down yesterday when I got up to the business center around 9am and it lasted all day

Ir was down in Yangon a year ago for 24 hours....common, not rare.

It might have something to do with the monk protest yesterday. A knee jerk reaction by Myanmar's IT systems admin people possibly, in case the junta blames them for pictures leaking out to the world.

Yep. The old undersea cable has hit a snag again. I think it's because of Gambari's visit tomorrow. They are concerned about exiled Myanmar people trying to organize on the ground.

This is also not anything new. As #2 says, it is common for the authorities to yank the internet plug. Every time DASSK's sentence has been extended they have cut off internet lines for a day or 2 or 3.
