The link has been down since Monday, and ATMs/credit card machines were screwy for a day or two, but pretty much everything's been working fine, at least in Karachi and Islamabad from what I know, since Tuesday. The cell networks and internal telecom was pretty much unaffected, and the switch to satellite backups was fairly rapid; I'm not downloading any torrent files, but my browsing's pretty much unaffected, and e-mail's been regular.</p> As always, there’s a healthy helping of exaggeration tossed in to this report (courtesy of CNN).
