FWIW - Anyone in the U.S.  relying on server farms in Iceland might be
presented with a traffic problem

http://digg.com/offbeat_news/How_do_you_fix_an_undersea_cable
We have this problem in Iceland now. 2 cables go to Iceland, 1 from US and
another from Europe. The US cable broke middle of nowhere and currently
watching something simple like a Youtube video becomes difficult and
torrenting almost impossible (depends slightly on the ISP how much they
depend on the US cable or if they can easily route US traffic through
Europe). Fixing the problem is taking more than a month now.
