Dave,

This seems greatly exaggerated ! While I think what MIDS does is very
useful they still cannot conclude from their measurements the
connectivity of the Internet on an entire continent.

Ebone statistics showed no significant dip in volumes so we conclude that
most of the traffic across the Atlantic and across the English Channel was
transmitted as normal.
