Sorry, I can splice wire, rope, cable, hawsers and I can splice rope to chain, but I draw the line at fibre optics. Just not geeky enough, I guess.

just thought you'd like to know that we are still suffering the consequences of this accident.
internet access has been curbed and internet has run considerabl slower. im just glad i still have TFP! some sites are inaccessible like hotmail. so it really is a wake up call

Interesting...
All of this reminds me of the article written by Neal Stephenson back in the 90s... I think it was all about these specific cables getting laid. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass.html

I thought one of the main points of the original Arpanet was redundancy. Linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

That's true but many of the networks effected by this had their redundancy in the other cable. When both cables were cut... no more redundancy.
Don't forget, they will have their communications within their borders, just not with the rest of the network.
