Third major cable cut.
A submarine cable in the Middle East has been snapped, adding to global net problems caused by breaks in two lines under the Mediterranean on Wednesday.
The Falcon cable, owned by a firm that operates one of the previously damaged cables, was snapped on Friday morning.
Weird. One underwater cable snapping is unusual. Two? Strange. Now three cables have been damaged in the past few days?
I submit that the cloverfield monster has a sibling in other waters.   Really though, what could be the cause of submarine cables, in different areas, snapping within a few days of each other?

The good news is that since those cables where cut, the amount of spam in my inbox has dropped significantly! Woot!
I haven't received a single plea to help transfer hidden funds from a foreign account in over a week! Coincidence? I think not...
