How long do they think it will be down

Honestly, if it was by accident, it is going to take at least a full day before it is up and running. If it was on purpose, it depends if they have a patch ready or not... but anywhere between 6 hours to 2 days.

Any indication it was a designed break ?

Lrt this be a lesson, if a conflict arises in the US. Tech can be disrupted just this easy

I’m having a hard time believing that New England is completely without internet from a single cable.

Not all of the NE (remember I live in the NE) but a large swath of people are without.

To affect that large of area, it was a major fiber line cut. Probably hundreds or thousands of lines in a major cable. Each will have to be repaired by hand. Each splice costing around a hundred dollars

Yup, and it's pretty damaging. The school system here was knocked out...

Well there’s a silver lining.

Power grid, sure. But the internet is very specifically designed to avoid single points of failure. This is pretty weird.

The internet is not as broad as you think it is... Remember, how many jumps can an internet connection take maximum before it times out?

Think of it this way, the way our infrastructure it designed to get to Mass to CA it takes a an average on 30 jumps...

You drop a connection in the middle, it needs to find another way, that does not always mean the fastest route, and if you overburden some nodes people's internet just will drop.

The US internet infrastructure is one step better than our power, it has redundancy, but not at the level required to keep from collapsing is a major node or hub does go down. Remember, it uses the same base infrastructure out electricity runs on.
