Title is a bit click-baity and misleading. (Not the fault of OP though.)

In the article itself:

So it will come back online. It'll just take a while.

Probably induce a bit of a wobble.

We’d have to turn it on but in the other direction to maybe revert everything.

That’s a new habit for The Guardian.

I mean, it works. I can hardly blame them with how fast the internet is deteriorating. But still.
