Sucks. It took forever to load up the TL page, and it takes a freaking long time to load up any article.
Youtube is blocked, so I can't watch VODs, afreeca hates Chinese internet, and all popular upload sites are blocked (i.e Megaupload, mediafire).
Imageshack is also apparently blocked, so a ton of articles are missing pictures.
Where I'm at, pictures also can't be uploaded because of epic internet fail, so a battle report that I wrote for White-Ra vs. Dinot is currently sitting on my computer wasting away. This is also the first time in about a week that I could get on thanks to nonexistent internet.
Oh before I forget to mention, livestream also doesn't work. Huzzah.
If only China could get some decent infrastructure, their development could shoot forward so fast.

Uh....Taiwan typhoon sound familiar to you?
It shattered the optic cables or something, resulting in slow internet for most of the mainland.
My Internet in Beijing is pretty much back to normal now.

I feel your pain. Chinese internet sucks so bad. I think I ended up just watching those weird ass shows on CCTV.

The thing about Chinese internet is that it's basically built to be self-contained and isolated from the rest of the world. If you used any Chinese applications (Baidu, QQ, etc.) then you'd see that they work just fine, maybe even faster than how their counterparts in the states.

Cant you use chinese sites like wfbrood and watch vods on youku?
|
My internet fucking died when I tried to load this page. Jesus Christ can this even be called broadband? Slower than fucking dialup sometimes
|
Strange. Last time I've been to Beijing, my Internet was pretty decent.
|
The block it to avoid much influence on the ppl since they seen their chinese culture eroding in certain places of china..
|
I'm currently using Japanese internet, want some?
It isn't as fast as my normal internet but it sure as heck works nicely.
Plus when I go to www.google.com it redirects me to the Japanese google.
This is authentic! ACHACHA!

I would recommend you to read these 2 sites before you continue using that program. That program is fishy and could be a malware.

UltraSurf and Gtunnel and likely all products put out by the Global Internet Freedom Consortium / Internet Freedom.org, are infact secret trojans. They give you a 1-hop proxy but use your system to launch attacks against financial institutions, government and energy websites, education, etc. Now here is the scary thing, if you are logged into one of these domains, like your bank, then they can get access to your authenticated session / cookie and potentially break right into your account, THROUGH YOUR OWN COMPUTER.
Imagine if someone with a sensitive US position used ultrasurf. Suddenly their military login has been compromised. Not likely? They've been around twice as long as tor, and this exact thing happened on tor last year (see dan egerstadt).
It gets better, any site you visit using the program, the turn off SSL cert checking so they can perform MITM and watch your entire session and logins. It is also capable of auto-updating, and spiders into your system when you install it, capturing not only IE but now Firefox and DNS and most other traffic. So everything you are doing, they have access to and may be logging and using against you.
GIFC / Internet Freedom org are a huge scam. They are likely run by by a private chinese intelligence firm to monitor dissidents and us citizens while attacking critical infrastructure in the USA and Taiwan. They have fooled everyone for nearly a decade, and are seeking a $40m grant as an internet anti-censorship software.

I use Freegate (google it) to surf the internet when I'm on holiday in China

The problem itself isn't the block, but the horrible speed. It's like trying to swim through syrup. Pages take foreevverrr to load T_T.
Going through the proxy solves the censorship issue, but it makes the speed issue about 20x worse.
