European cable cut may impact transoceanic routes
https://trust.zscaler.com/zscloud.net/posts/12256 "We are aware of a major cable cut in the South of France that has impacted major subsea cables with connectivity to Asia, Europe, US and potentially other parts of the world. As a result of the cable cut, customers may see packet loss and or latency for websites and applications which traverse these impacted paths." Really? Not a peep on outages and nanog. Hysteria mongering? -Hank

I don't doubt it was real I just doubt whether it was "major" since if it was major I would have seen a post by Doug/Kentik and by QRator by now :-) -Hank

If you mean "are the cable cutS real?", yes they are and many actors (including us) saw it. If you mean "are we all going to die without Internet?", then the answer is probably no.
