Yeah, and I bet the perps were really annoyed when they saw
there wasn't any copper in those cables . . .
How much does anyone want to bet it was something stupid
like that more than intentional DOS?

One of the prime reasons I believe it was someone inside is that they
knew just what to cut and where. The everyday idiot doesn't know where
most UG fiber is.

It's not hard to figure out. Just look and see what name
is on the maintenance hatch cover.
That being said, how sure are "we", as in the general public,
in our belief that only the four super duper important
cables were cut? How's about the scenario that a couple
of dozen were sliced, but the other 20 or so weren't
even noticed and aren't being reported?

Yes, and they'd get fixed. But the issue isn't whether the problems are
detected, the issue is whether they are announced to the public or not.
