Now confirmed that APCN2, C2C and EAC are cut. also unconfirmed reports
of SMW2 and SWM3 are out.  FLAG and TGN seems to be not had any issues
so far.

It seems at this point, the fault is more on the South China Sea and the
alarms I got seem to confirm that. For the geography, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:South_China_Sea.jpg

Circuits from Japan to SG, TH, PH are down, but not to HK. My
perspective, yours may vary.
