Undersea fiber cut after Taiwan earthquake - PCCW / Singtel / KT e tc connectivity disrupted

That massive bundle of visible conduit running under the toll road where
Centreville Road crosses always grabs my attention.  I'm sure there's
nothing critical inside of it.

the only fiber that i'm aware of that is actually along the toll road itself
belongs to the toll road folks.  it would screw up the smart tag
transponders for sure, but the ensuing traffic backups are unlikely to
affect half the east coast (even though traffic in nova sometimes feels that
way).

sunrise valley dr. and sunset hills rd. are an entirely different matter
though.  update your maps before you go to us rentals eh?  :-)
