I suppose we won't know for sure until they pull up the cable for repair, but has anyone heard the official (or speculative) root cause of the two cuts on the TAT-14 cable? Trawler? Seismic activity? Sharks? That guy running around cutting Qwest fiber? Please reply off-list... Thanks! -Sounil On Tuesday, November 25, 2003 4:19 PM, Jack McCarthy <[email protected]> wrote: > Here's the official word we received: > > "The outage on TAT-14 Segment I is on-going.
