Undersea Cables Cut; 14 Countries Lose Web

[Tallest]

They where. Some was about 30minutes of sailing. There is also a limitation on how much you can. Both due to ships and due to geographic.

thats true it depends on geography but 30 minutes apart doesnt help much.
maybe they should invest in more cables if they cant get around the geographic limitations.

More cables obviously doesnt help

A land cable could solve alot. But land cables cost more than sea cables. Land cables would usually also carry much more data. Since they are easier to fix and simpler.

It would be nice with a land cable tho from europe across russia to india, china, korea, japan. Would put pings down under 150ms to japan instead of 300ms today. And China would go down to 60-175ms or so depending on where. Or almost better.

A seacable over the northpole (Around actually) to Japan from europe would also be about 34% shorter than the one today.

I mean its quite easy for the naked eye to see that these aint layed for low latency.

why not space the cables farther apart so only a couple countries lose internet. oh i know lets make all these million dollar cables and only put them underwater right next to each other.

Putting them further apart increases the chance 1 gets hit. Putting them closer together decreases the chance 1 gets hit but ofc if they get cut the chances r big that more then 1 gets cut.
I think they put them close together so Ship captains know not to drop anchor in the area. guess there may also b political reasons for putting the cables in certain areas.

To all just read this:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/02/08/internet.outage/

the main cables go out or are cut on a regular base. But usualy they are capable of rerouting and stil having enough capacity for it to go unnoticed.

But cause these cables go to the middle easy people ofc immedialy come with conspiracy ideas and cause more then 1 are cut the lack of capacity is immediatly noticed.

ps.
u damn wel know its the Atlanteans preparing to conquer the surface world.

well acording to a pic i saw, these sit on top of the sea floor, should they bury them a couple feet also ???

would b added cost. and if one of them would get damaged due to an earthquake it would take longer and b more expensive to repair them.

Not even undersea pipelines get burried.
They just lower them down from the surface and lay them on the floor.

That would be expensive as hell, and they probably couldn't do it in all areas either.

hmmmm and i was blaming my ISP (Qtel) , will they should have the news on there website , or in newspaper >.<

[just a noob]

here is why you don't want satillite(my speed test)

[Rammsteiner]

That's a good idea. Trust me, you don't wanna go there.

Keep on dreaming, I just dont want to get banned Getting banned by talking to a giant wall ain't worth it to me

[Klarko]

how do these actually get "cut?

[Shintai]

how do these actually get "cut?

Anchors, finishing nets etc. They absicly get ripped over or drawn out from the ducts.

Maybe they dont even have to be cut just like you'd call a little wire to be cut. More like there's a huge strain on on side of the cable and some copper/whatever it's made off, break so you've got less bandwith.

Its fiber

But when you bend it too much it cracks and break. Or even tho its panser covered it can still be ripped over.

Here is some pictures btw:




Here is 3 examples of damaged cables:

Well, just go ahead and try it then if you think I'm dreaming. Like I said (and I back up what I say) you do NOT wanna go there. So, why don't you do what said you were gonna do and STFU.

You seem awfully worried about getting banned. How many times have you been banned from here? Have you finally ran out of accounts and ISP's?

I dont even think dreaming would cover it

Yeah, he's got some kind of hard head case. I guess he doesn't have a clue who he is talking to. Like most on here. Definitely the mark of a troll.

Errr, right.

Well, Im on my first account on my first ISP really. I feel sorry to disrupt your lolfail post.

As said, I ain't going to risc getting banned, which Im pretty much will if I tell it. Now stop trollin' and get back on topic, thank you very much.

[T_Flight]

Trolling? Listen, if you've got something to say, say it, if not, then you are just wasting people's time, and are doing exactly what you tried (and failed) to accuse me of...trolling. Get real.

I was talking about you in regards to the covert ops, military etc.

[T_Flight]

Ahhh, I see. So what was found to be the cause?

Patience is a virtue. The cableship havent arrived there yet.

[alexio]

It were Santa and the Easter Bunny, I saw them do it.

Why don't we discuss the effects rather than the cause? And think of solutions to the problem rather than point fingers?
