Hetzner Outage: Finland - Germany C-Lion cable is cut. (We all know who did it).
This discussion has been closed.

Sure. correctiv.org cut it.
Who did it this time? Ukraine again for the second time or Russia because Finland wants to join NATO?
OVH did it, obv.
Officially still just "Fault".

Unofficially, (personal source) its cut cleanly since both sides can trace up to certain point in the sea.
clickbait titles should be banned
Certain specific nation should be banned from all global markets.
They didn't do. If it was their fault the cable would have started burning or suddenly not available due to shortage of parts.
There are no accidents, a cable doesn't just break up like a marriage.
Could be potentially also a false flag operation but I doubt that.

Statement by company/some minister in 1h 15 mins.
In the current times, its gonna be politicalized 100%.
Would like to see an independent report though.
Ah.. so just like the gas pipe between Finland and Estonia and then later it was revealed to be Chinese merchant ships anchor that damaged it.
Finland is pretty reserved with blaming others. They'll only share 100% confirmed information about it.
Since its a private company, it's probly even more neutral stance for now.
Usually we start the political stuff when there is clear enough evidence against a specific party.
30 minutes to go.
Ships are not supposed to drag anchors during sea route. Funny thing how it happened just over the critical gas pipe back then.
Maybe there's a similar accident with Kingisepp-Kaliningrad cable soon. Who knows?
So it's not only Hetzner?
Its a major cable. Cinia has tons of customers including Azure.
Anyone have some concrete latency differences showing?
Oh no, first Russia sends bombs through the NordStream pipeline to blow it up and now this.
Can't really prove anything, but I now get roughly 70ms instead of 58-60ms I used to.
Could be my ISP, though.
Compared to Stockholm
Quite a huge latency hit.

I suspect NBG to HEL didn't go frankfurt > amsterdam > stockholm but I honestly don't know
Yep, before it went fra -> hel without ams/sto.
At any given moment, there are dozens of defect undersea cables.
There are also dozens of reasons why a cable might break. Often it's anchors, but we also had sharks or just fatigue.
This specific cable has no internet critical role at all.
We have various other routes. So, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sabotage this one.
It is Elon Musk. He wants everyone to switch to Starlink
It was Putin's rat, his right arm at the Kremlin:
