Cut four undersea cables, shame on you, cut a fifth, also shame on you

If you’re reading Engadget today because your favorite Iranian gadget blog is offline, here’s why: a fifth undersea cable has now been reported as cut, responsible for knocking Iran and a few other million people mostly off the interwebs. Things were already looking awfully suspicious when a fourth undersea cable in the Mediterranean was cut yesterday, and while nothing about a fifth cable being cut necessarily means some sort of sabotage is to blame, it’s not exactly reassuring. Emergency measures are already underway to repair the cables, but we’re not sure our inter-continental Quake III Arena deathmatch can handle any more snips.
