I'm guessing it had something to do with DNS.
If you think about it, the one thing that connects all the tubes together is their addresses. If the postal service goes down, it doesn't matter how clearly you put the zip code on the envelope.

One of my co-workers was on a different network using different DNS servers from the rest of us who were on Google's public DNS servers. He had full connecvitity, the rest of us could only use services we had the IP addresses cached locally.
