Theoretically impossible, or just "impossible on the fiber that's already

Impossilbe on the existing undersea cables.

Again, was this "impossible on a cable the builder was about to build", or
"impossible on the cable that the builder put under the water already"?
Impossible on our cable. The one they built.
