GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas had mod allowing to play online (multiplayer) called "Multi Theft Auto" (for Vice City there was another one called VC:MP)
As far as I remember, the MTA project was started by a guy who initially tried to build a trainer by reverse engineering one of the GTA games, in the end he ended with a multiplayer mod. Fun times.
ISPs or dark fiber providers have detailed maps aligning with road networks. If there’s a suspected fiber cut they’ll run an OTDR from the ODF box or the source photonic equipment which will show high reflection/ signal degradation where the break occurred to the nearest 100m dependant on test granularity.

Most of the time. I worked a summer for Virgin (UK) basically digging holes to run cables.
I'd say 1 in every 6-7 jobs we dug the hole and found no existing Virgin inf. in the ground. You'd have to come back the next day hopefully with better information to try again.
I believe they use devices that act like some kind of radar. They send a signal across the wire and measure how long it takes to bounce back. They can get a really good estimation of the distance between the ping and the cut.
Also, fiber optics needs repeaters, so as a first rough estimate resource you can very quickly determine between which two repeaters the cable was broken.
Cambridge allowed everyone to access their library but then they changed it to "available online to students through their university library regardless of whether they were previously purchased"
