If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Mentioned in another thread. Not good, being 1GW down on import options.

Quite honestly, I hope if there is a need to do emergency load shedding,
that they choose central London as the victim. Particularly Westminster.

The Times says four of the eight cables are broken and it will take
until Feb 2017 to repair them.

Nice. Just as sunspot activity has almost disappeared.

It also says a dragging anchor was the cause. It also wrecked the fibre
cable to the Channel Islands causing problems with their internet.

How odd. That is nowhere near kent. Comes ashore in the west country IIRC.

Anyway CI these days is heavily attached to the French Internet.

When I was working in Jersey in 1980, this happened with the main telephone cable to the mainland. Calls were routed via France and rationed. Big problem for a bank running a dealing room there.

When I put the internet into the channel islands, we had two links to
jersey and guernsey from different suppliers, and a link between those
two islands. It was a self contained ASN so that it could connect to
anywhere and get internet. That didn't last very long before there were
links to France as well, and as far as I know both Guersney and Jersey
telecoms are now part of a French company.


So whilst one cable to the internet may have broken, there should be at
least three more, and we made damned sure that switchover to routes
happened within a few hundred milliseconds of pulling out the fibres to
any given piece of kit.

So its shouldn't have been more than a 25% loss of capacity* worst case.

*of course we all remember the day when we discovered that packets from
Cambridge to Manchester were going via the USA and mainland Europe, very
slowly...

"But we have diverse routing"! yelled the ISPs. Unfortunately all of the
diverse routes went through the same fibre conduit halfway up the M1
that a contractor had just put a digger through...

Cable and Wireless took over the State telephone service in Guernsey
back in about 2004, and used the branding 'Sure', there and on the IOM.
After C&W broke into two companies, C&W communications sold off all
their non-caribbean interests to a Middle east company in about 2011.

C&W no longer exists at all. 150 years of history gone.

Yes, me. Almost singlehanded actually.

Sad really. Guernsey telecom were very very good for me.

Actually, you won't believe me of course, but that is in fact the
literal truth.

Biggest, most well paid and most fun contract my company ever got as far
as I am concerned, and due to various other issues, the job to implement
it fell to me almost singlehanded.

*shrug* I am not going to tell you any more than that. I don't actually
care whether anyone believes me or not, especially you. I was there, I
know what I did, and nothing can change that.

I don't need to impress you to feel superior.
