OK, who unplugged the modem? North Korea's internet disappeared for four hours today North Korea disappeared from the internet on Monday for roughly four-and-a-half hours. At around 6.30pm local time (or 6pm if you take the starving nation's recent decision to create its own time zone seriously) through to 11pm, the routes for the country vanished from the internet's routing tables, meaning nothing was coming …
Well, barring multiple networks, etc, at least you would hope there was battery backup. But the point could be moot, it really wouldn't matter if North Korea's Internet was down due to power failure if the client PCs or whatever that would access it have also lost power.
