per news reports read on the web 2 days ago reported that cable based communications were disrupted and were 50% down caused by the earthquake in Taiwan. Is the disruption affected telephone companies providing internet service or is it yahoo our means of sending and receiving messages is also affected?

Likely scenario: telecom consumers throughout Asia may experience slowdowns for a couple of weeks as traffic is rerouted from the damaged undersea cables. The worst is definitely over, though another quake will certainly disrupt service in the future, as Chunghwa Telecom of Taiwan has decided not to invest in more backup lines.
