I had the same thing happen to my internet cables but it was the cat.
Cat5?
Cat9
Maybe cat8 the cable.
Why was six afraid of seven?
Because seven was a registered six offender.
Holy new version batman
jokes on you i almost always use wireless 🕶️
I've had it with these god damned sharks attacking my god damned internet cables
What’s funny is, sharks legitimately attack these kinds of cables regularly. They need to be adequately shielded to prevent shark attacks.
As they say, you're more likely to get struck by lightning than attacked by a shark(unless you're an Internet cable)
Feels weird too say that my wifi is being shit cause of sharks but its true!
Why not just bury them?
Environmentalists don't like it when you bury too many sharks.
This caught me off guard. I'm lucky I wasn't drinking anything.
Because it's one thing to cruise along with a ship and just unspool some cable into the water but a whole other thing to dig hundreds of miles of trenches deep under water.
People with shovels don't like to get wet.
It's more expensive, especially in super deep water
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At least 15 submarine cables pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, a body of water just 26km wide at some points.
"The location of the cable break is significant due to its geopolitical sensitivity and ongoing tensions, making it a challenging environment for maintenance and repair operations," Seacom said.
Globes attributed the outages to the Iran-backed Houthis, and alleged the damage was "significant, but not critical," because several other undersea cables serve the region.
Peripheral vendor Logitech recently warned its supply chain would experience delays as a result of the Red Sea conflict.
While it's not clear what's exactly going on with subsea internet cables in the Red Sea right now, pinning blame on the Houthis isn't entirely out of left field - the Yemeni rebels threatened to damage comms infrastructure late in 2023.
Rear Admiral John Gower, a former Royal Navy submarine commander, told the BBC earlier this month that it would take a more sophisticated force than the Houthis, someone with submersibles capable of locating the cables to do the deed.
