So all the poker guys here in Costa got word that there is going to be maintenance on one of the submarine cables that provides internet to the region and that internet service may be slow and interrupted. Its kind of snowballed into paranoia that we won't have internet for the weekend (its one of the biggest weekends online of the year). There's scant information out there so we're trying our best to figure out what the best plan is.
The system they're working on is Maya-1 but after looking here its quite clear that Costa Rica has more than one submarine cable system routed into the country.

I'm guessing that where we're at probably will have the delays but what I'm trying to figure out is if moving further south in the country will increase our chances of stable internet because of the PAC system that runs in there. I don't really know anything about any of this though other than what I've been looking at the past couple hours so I was wondering if that makes sense. Its too late to call the internet companies unfortunately plus I don't speak nearly good enough Spanish anyway to figure anything out.
Also, is there anyway to figure out which cable your ISP is using? I'm not even sure I even really understand how this all works so there is a solid chance I sound like a moron but just wanted to see if anyone can explain any of this or direct me to some good resources on the matter.
