Companies have been quick to deny accusations and some have tried to show evidence that they are actually struggling not to deliver data to the secret service.
Later, it was revealed, to everyone's surprise, that the NSA had managed to have it to the data centers of the above companies, through the optical fiber cables that connect the data centers.
According to her publication New York Times, sources within Google and Yahoo are now sure that the violation of NSA comes from of fiber optic cables that end up in their data centers. Cables are sponsored by companies such as Verizon, Vodafone, BT and Level 3 Communications. Suspicion falls on the latter, as both companies use link cables from it.

Level 3 Communications declined to answer questions directly, and when asked if it has granted access to the NSA its official response was: we are a law-abiding company. “It is our policy to comply with the laws in every country where we operate, and we provide access to government only when we are obliged to do so by the laws of the country where the data is located.”
