What is known about damage to cables between Finland and Sweden

Commenting on this situation, the company stated that the damage to the optical fiber caused “individual failures” in the company’s networks. Experts managed to eliminate the problem.

Watch out! Meta plans to lay an underwater fiber optic cable that will reach the entire world within a few years. The cost of such a project reaches 10 billion dollars.

Why can two cable breaks occur at the same time?

Niklas Ekström, communications manager of the Swedish company Global Connect, does not know the exact cause of the damage to the network cables.

Cables break for various reasons. It is absolutely unusual for two cables to be damaged at the same time.
– He told the Extreme publication.

Elisa Jakko Wallenius, director of the Finnish company’s security service, believes that the damage to the cable in Vicht was not the result of sabotage. According to him, the network cable was accidentally cut by an excavator working there.

According to Swedish television and radio company SVT, police suspect that the cable break was intentional and that criminals were involved. Law enforcement is currently searching for possible culprits.

Finnish authorities will also investigate the accident. This was written by Lulu Ranne, Minister of Transport and Communications, on social network X.

We take the situation seriously.
– Lulu Ranne writes.

What were the consequences of damage to Internet cables?

Global Connect company states that approximately 6,000 households in Finland were affected by two internet cables breaking. A number of commercial customers were also left without a network. The consequences of the accident were not reported in Sweden.

Let us remind you that damage to Lithuania’s underwater internet cable was previously detected in the Baltic Sea. A similar incident occurred with the Finnish-German telegram around the same time. The services are assessing Russia’s involvement in these accidents.
