Thousands took to the streets on Saturday to protest the military coup in Myanmar. The military has shut down the country's Internet service to quell protests.

Internet watchdog Netblocks reports that Myanmar's Internet speed is now only 16 percent. Which is absolutely negligible.

Earlier, the military shut down Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the country.

Thousands of people took to the streets in Yangon, the country's capital, on Saturday to protest military rule. Protesters chanted "Military rule has failed, democracy has won."
