  • darkchild82, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2ahhh...that explains it. I was wondering why office bandwidth sucked for most of the day.
  • lucutus, on 01/30/2008, -1/+1Wired has an article on this claiming it was a submarine. http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/M/MIDEAST_IN ...
    I have often wondered how this type of damage would get repaired. Is it too deep for divers?
    • jabrthel, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1It didn't claim a submarine did it... all it said was that it would take 1-2 weeks for a cable submarine to find the damage and repair it. That's how they repair it... they send a specialized submarine.
