    Hetzner seems unaffected?

        ping hel1-speed.hetzner.com
    Gives me 52ms from Germany which should be about normal?

    It should be around 25 ms in normal conditions. That's what I got when pinging Hetzner in Germany, from Finland, when the cable was still in use and when using a connection that routes through the cable.

    I think it is slightly higher than normal. I remember getting 30-40ms pings to germany in recent years. 45-55ms is around the range it used to be in early 2010's before the direct cable from finland to germany was built.

    I'm getting 25ms from my mailserver at hetzner helsinki to amsterdam. Looks more then OK to me.

    That is a very terse statement all things considered.

    I am don't use Hetzner, but I use ssh between Finland and Germany every day. As a matter of fact even back and forth because of tunneling. After reading the news this morning (Hetzner incident is date 3:30 UTC) I was surpised that I had not noted any lag. It remained very reponsive all day.

    I have a persistent VPN tunnel between Finland and Germany and I’ve not noticed really any disruptions. If it had cut out for even a moment, it would’ve interrupted my services (since they don’t recover gracefully at the moment) and I would’ve found out.

    It was written in the middle of the night. I expect they'll update it later.

    48ms from England, for whatever that's worth. Would that've used the cable?

    If you want to know if they are affected, search for "Looking glass hetzner". It will help you better than ICMP PING. See https://bgp.he.net/AS24940 for example.
