| Sure, which of the 24 Atlantic cables are you going to cut with their 5-15 day repair time estimates? Or maybe the 20+ routing the other way around the Earth. (See map linked above) |

| Where do you get these repair time estimates? I couldn't find a good source, but for example [1] says that, yes, one to two weeks to repair, but two to three weeks to get the ship from Europe to West Africa. [1] https://www.channelstv.com/2024/03/16/internet-disruption-su... |

However, you likely have a point, that the mid-Atlantic probably add some % to the on-site repair time and ++ on time to arrive. Much further away than Sweden to Lithuania. | | |

I imagine weather conditions might change the equation, though, if you need to send icebreakers first to open up some dozens of kilometers of passage. Right now the sea is still open, except for the coastal areas in the very north.[1] [1] https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/ice-conditions/ |
