Latest word on the TAT-8 cable is that it is not a power station as
was originally thought, but a problem in an underwater repeater
station. The ship is now onsite, but there is no firm uptime for the
cable yet.

Apparently the PTAT is also down between the UK and Belgium, which is
why certain links are on satellite.
