Whoops, putting fibre optic cables 34 feet below ground is not deepenough ...

Jobserve is off the grid at the moment.

"At around l400hrs, 4th April 2009 contractors working on the Olympic
Venues in Stratford, East London, and using boring equipment, severed
fibre transmission systems on our supplier’s network 34 feet from the
surface. This has resulted in outage of many Telstra services, and is
having a major impact on our other suppliers and competitors alike. "
