Three of Four Major Undersea Internet Cables Get Cut
So, there's good news and bad news, and per tradition, we'll be starting with the latter. Three of four undersea cables that route Internet traffic from Asia to North America have inexplicably been cut, meaning that your international 'Quake III' server may be a bit slow this evening. The good news is that this fiasco clearly hasn't affected you yet. The AP has confirmed via Egypt's communications ministry that the cables have indeed been severed, causing massive outages in select portions of the world. Oddly, no suspicions of subterfuge have been mentioned, but we have all ideas rumors will start to swirl if another gets snipped. So, tell us readers -- are you still online? Wait, don't answer that.[Via ZDNet]
