This appears to be affecting Telia as well. Here was their last update:
"Concerning the cable break near Cleveland we have been informed that the cables have been intentionally sabotaged. The provider informed that they need to change the whole damaged fibre part and that is 3600 feet. Fibre has been ordered and ETA is 1900 UTC. Once the fibre arrives they need to blow it into the 3600 feet long duct before the splicing can start."
Sounds like a DHS/FBI investigation will be starting soon. Eesh.. if we start having to secure 500,000 route miles of fiber routes against sabotage, um... well, I guess I'll have to become a fiber installation contractor. :) DJ
