It has been some weeks since DrukNet faced with some "unidentified problem" with Thimphu-Phuntsholing fibre optic cables. While it worked well some days ago, the same problem is being experienced again.

While the internet bandwidth or connectivity is erratic for inernational sites with those fibre optic cables being the main gateway to the international sites, clients cannot even open the local .bt sites very smoothly.

Since December 6th, 2011, something has been hampering DrukNet's broadband network. The connection became unreliable where even the lite downloads couldn't be completed. The network breaks down in between.

While there wasn't any official announcement of what caused the network problem, the clients are still complaining to the DrukNet. While international sites completely become inaccessible most often, even the DrukNet's own site,  which is hosted locally,  can't be reached smoothly. There are certain issues that cause such timed-out errors.
