How about VSNL CANTAT-3? Any idea what's going on here?Its a very old cable which I'm sure must have passed its service life by now. It was frequenty affected by issues near iceland. (trawlers IIRC etc).
It's just approaching 15 years old and I think for '94 that this is the expected lifespan. In January of '06 there was a major outage on Cantat-3 that took a very long time to repair. This is why most people can even recall the name. Check the nanog archives if you are interested in the discussion that took place here. There is a major fishing ground north of the cantat route off of Iceland and south of Hornsfjordur , but the cable does not run through it as far as I know, a little to East, and the "big" outage was situated in the North Sea, southwest of Bergen, Norway. I'm not sure about other outages. I have found some interesting stuff in some NOC archives though. Best, Martin
