Reports are now surfacing that a fourth cable has been cut, this time near UAE. Four within the space of a week....

I think it's time to dust off our tinfoil hats, people.

I've already donned my tin foil hat.  I figured at three that maybe it was a really bad run of luck but now its way beyond that.  The media hasn't picked up on it yet.

One or two? maybe. Four? What are the odds of that happening by chance? Maybe somebody's warming up a nice surprise for the middle east.........

Tell me about it. Internet's been on the fritz here for a while, and playing TF2 online anywhere other than Asia is a ***** :(

Fifth one has been cut and/or taken offline.  Not 100% sure which.  Heard both.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

What I can't figure out is: who does this benefit? As far as I can tell, no one.

Any number of groups have the logistics to have pulled this off: the CIA, Iran, al Qaeda, Israel or the freaking Masons. But I can't see any possible benefit to anyone aside from the economic distruption it has caused. Who cares if Reza in Tehran can't check football scores online?

It doesn't benefit anyone. There's just no point to doing this delibrately. The only people who have the combination of the resources needed to try this and the stupidity to do so are already in the Middle East, trying to pretend it's the 14th century still. They haven't even cut off Iranian (or anybody else's) internet service, just slowed it down. And the latest breakage affected Vietnam.

Here's something interesting on a semi related note. The internet went down today for 90 minutes at my college, and apparently it happened at four other colleges too - and all the incoming traffic was rerouted to some overseas location.

That is partially our fault for f***ing up their borders, and Dubya's for declaring crusade. But mostly the fault of Taliban/Hezbolah/Whoever who stir up the rest of the population.
