The only fiber cable between Finland and Germany has suffered a cut last night. The cable mostly follows the Nord Stream routing in the bottom of the baltic sea.

The remaining links are mostly via Sweden.

I would expect this to hurt Hetzner the worst, since a lot of the workloads they host in Finland are here just for the cheap electricity but are actually connecting with clients elsewhere.

Must be weeks rather than days before this is fixed

@karppinen @danimo Oooh, I can actually see that in Uptime Kuma (which I run in the Hetzner Helsinki data center).

Diagram of latency over time for one of my services. The line is wiggling slightly above 100 ms until 03:05 this morning, then it's wiggling slightly below 150 ms instead.

I can confirm, latency between OVH-france and Hetzner-finland went up around 3AM and improved slightly around 10AM, still over normal.

screenshot of Latency chart, ms over time, starting sun 12:00, ending Monday 14:00, went up from 30ms to 58ms, down to 38ms.
