Fiber cable damage slows internet speed in Pakistan :AGAIN

No they always survive bends as per the standards set by ITU for different cables. Strength can always be customized according to requirement.

Bending a fiber cable over its minimum bend radius is one of biggest factors in fiber damaging in fiber cable installation projects. This practice can either break the inside fibers or increase fiber attenuation (fiber power loss) over the manufacturer's specification. Even if the inside fibers are already broken, you may not see any physical damage to the outside jacket at all. The consequence is, you have to replace the whole section or even the entire length of cable.

Yes cable installation phase is always very important and there are chances that cable may break or some pressure point is created which can seriously hamper communication that's why cables are tested after installation. Once laid these cable there are very less chances of any problems. Anyways these cables are not as fragile as one can imagine while considering them to be made of glass.

I wonder why and how people damages the underwater fiber cables....
