Well i don,t think this was terrorists. But a certain govenment wanting net traffic to be routed through certain internet backbone.
so it could monitor all the traffic.

Any ship who,s anchor chain was strong enough to brake the cable would not have left an anchor behind like they reported one was found near by the broken cable.
That was to make it look like how it was done and make every one figure look at that as the cause.
but instead it was more then likely a black opps project!

these cables can be taken out by a dropped anchor. but even with knowing the cables location and aiming for it you would still have odds of 1 in 10,000 or higher of hitting it and higher yet of doing a complete cut through.
But if you were to drag the anchor back and forth over area till you snag it it would be 100% breakage rate.
If explosive devices were used it would be far higher then dropped anchor.
If manualy place devices used it would be 99.999% effective.
If all lasers on ether end were caused to fire on the same cables at same sime and left doing so the cable could melt through at point of meeting.

if in shallow enough water an air powered salvage saw and diver could cut these in minuets.
seismic activity could brake these as well and tsunami’s but there were not any. take your pick.
but these being damaged on purpose is most likely!

3 Anchor drops within 24hrs, 2 within one hour of each other. LAME! Wrong Answer! No such thing as a coincidence.
