Resilient Internet connectivity in Europe mitigates impact from multiple cable cuts

Cloudflare Radar reviewed two submarine cable cuts in November 2024—the BCS East‑West Interlink between Lithuania and Sweden and the C‑Lion1 between Finland and Germany—and detected no material traffic loss or reduction in announced IP space, with only brief, minor variations in bandwidth and latency indicating effective rerouting; the findings emphasize Europe’s extensive submarine and terrestrial redundancy and advocate building resilient, multi-path architectures to avoid single points of failure.
