It's overhyped, and simply not true. The attacks went on for over a
week, and ended on Wednesday. Almost no one noticed them.

Unless you were connected to LINX in London, you're unlikely to have
noticed it. LINX itself was only affected for an hour or so.
Lastly, I haven't heard any service provider in Pakistan (TW1 or PTCL)
describe if (or how) the attack affected their operations. We've had
to deal with several submarine cable disruptions instead.
