Do you know if their connection goes through China? Last time I
checked, a lot of ISPs in Central Asia actually go through China to get
to most of the rest of the world. And depending on what you are looking
for, China may be blocking it. I don't really trust ISPs in Asia (and
many other parts of the world) to know what they are doing. After all,
many allow tons of hackers and spammers to prosper and they do almost
nothing about it, plus they do stupid stuff like broadcast default
routes for Youtube to go back to themselves, which is what happened on
that Sunday back in 2007 when Youtube suddenly dropped off the net for
everyone.
