The targets are

For the 7 targets in South Africa the 25%/median/75% before 2016 and after are ~294/300/306ms and 327/345/356ms.

Looking in more detail at the ping responses each hour we see  a sudden step

The first step occurred between 08:00am and 09:00am Jan 14th, the second step between 07:00am and 08:00am Jan 16th (both times are GMT). I can find no evidence of a failure on January 14th, however it sure looks like there was one. On further inspection, it appears that this step only appears for the TENET target site (see below for the minimum RTTs in msec measured each hour (0 1 ...) from SLAC to the target (Remote-Site)  on Jan 14th, 2020), and thus is not related to the cable problems.
