Or is the US's global access wholly reliant on cables in the Atlantic? If so then this seems like it must be more about the US / Russia than the UK. Although it would cause some pretty major global problems as a large number of nameservers are US based I think.
It's not that simple, its also about bandwidth and response times. Any loss of access routes to the UK would be pretty catastrophic
