despite being 36metres under ground, the crew working on the olympic site in london manage to drill right through the main fibre optic cables to the telstar data centre in east london at the weekend, knocked an enormous chunk off uk bandwidth while they re-routed it
had knock on issues all over the place, sites hosted down there were screwed pretty much, so they just nicked all the band width from us provincials up north to get the big southern softies back on line, while they fixed it
might have ahd something to do with it
