The CEO of UK ISP Lumison, Aydin Kurt-Elli, has warned that future floods in vulnerable areas could put the entire country’s Internet infrastructure at risk:


Mercifully the recent floods only impacted a handful of providers to a minor degree, although Lumison makes a very valid point about the effect of such an event upon an area like London.

Many climate scientists believe that the city is likely to suffer as a result of rising sea levels, with major exchanges becoming especially vulnerable. It may be cheaper to put all your eggs in one basket, but it also carries a proportionally larger risk should things ever go wrong.
