this isn't the first time that cable has been damaged in that location. Unfortunately such things tend to happen quite a bit as ships moored in the vicinity can drag their anchors and end up severing them, and the location means they're extremely difficult and expensive to repair.
@loony: Ouch! Talk about snagging a big one. It's kind of like hooking a piece of garbage instead of snagging a big fish while fishing. I only ever experience slow internet in the past few days while watching videos on youtube. As per browsing the net, nill on the slowness. Downloads, not tested yet though.
