sure things are very odd about timing, but we shouldn't blow everything up into a big issue, especially without confirmations like ITR, it is not really reputable

if you want something updated regular and controlled more metricly look at www.internetpulse.com
 
1. No pr0n for Ahmanutjob today. Bummer des.

2. Maybe it was a virus tailored just to hit computers whose users are wearing pointy-toed shoes with the toes that curl up.

Unless we're talking about unbelievably shallow waters I highly doubt this.

Also, these cables survived all this time with other shipping traffic...AND, you'd think they might of thought of the whole "anchor" thing when they laid the cables.
 
Too many fucking nutjobs on this forum. Gee I don't know it could have been a boat that draged it's anchor for many miles, or more than one incident. To say this is being done in order to invade Iran with NO EVIDENCE is irresponsible and down right stupid on your part. STOP SPREADING FUD. Okay? Got it? Good?

Maybe they let a new class of boats in. To say this was done by the CIA without any evidence is down right stupid and wrong.
 
Some additional information about this (per the AP - take as always with a grain of salt).

NEW DELHI - At least for a while, the World Wide Web wasn't so worldwide.

Two cables that carry Internet traffic deep under the Mediterranean Sea snapped, disrupting service Thursday across a swath of Asia and the Middle East.

India took one of the biggest hits, and the damage from its slowdowns and outages rippled to some U.S. and European companies that rely on its lucrative outsourcing industry to handle customer service calls and other operations.

...

While the cause of the damage was not yet known, the scope was wide: Traffic slowed on the Dubai stock exchange, and there was concern that workers who labor for the well-off in the Mideast might not be able to send money home to poor relatives.

...

The cables, which lie undersea north of the Egyptian port of Alexandria, were snapped Wednesday just as the working day was ending in India, so the full impact was not apparent until Thursday.

There was speculation a ship's anchor might be to blame. The two cables, named FLAG Europe Asia and SEA-ME-WE 4, are in close proximity.

Egyptian officials said initial attempts to reach the cables were stymied by poor weather. Repairs could take a week once workers arrive at the site, and engineers were scrambling to reroute traffic to satellites and to other cables.

The Egyptian minister of communications and information technology said Internet service in that country had been restored to about 45 percent and would be up to 80 percent by Friday, the state news agency reported.

The snapped cables — which lie on the sea floor and at some points are no thicker than the average human thumb — caused problems across an area thousands of miles wide. Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain all reported trouble.

I always thought that the NeoCons last attempt to save their power would be an attack on China - Iran maybe more realistic - and what would the reason be for?
 
Oh and to the idiots that said all of Iran is offline. Did you even bother to RTFA? They have those round dishes called satellites dishes that gives them the ability to send signals up into space and back down. They still have other lines that are still operational.
