When an undersea trunk gets cut it's not a one day outage. Even in the article they said it would take several days to fix. And yeah, your average consumer isn't going to want to foot the bill for geographically diverse routes. If I had to guess, I'd say that the majority of those affected were home and small business users. Not large business and government.
