Repairs to Asia's slow Internet, damaged by an earthquake that ripped
through key undersea data cables, have been postponed because of a major
fault on a ship sent to the fix the problem.

One of two repair ships that laid anchor in the Luzon Strait between Taiwan
and the Philippines above the damaged lines experienced a major fault
Saturday, Hong Kong's Office of the Telecommunications Authority said
Sunday.

The ship is now in Taiwan and will take about seven days to fix, the
authority said in a statement, pushing back the estimate for initial
repairs to one of the cable systems by a week.
