It will definitely be faster when someone drops an anchor on the undersea cable.

Given the size of the ocean (ie, there's so many other places that a ship can drop anchor other than right on a cable), I would assume this would be intentional sabotage any time it happens.

Exactly…lately they were dragging anchor by „accident” with a ship „totally not associated” with the country that was accused.
