There's a lot of communication going on between the UK and America and the cables look like tangle of noodles around China. And our Bob talk travels with much quickness through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. Anyone got a pair of scissors?

Thats interesting. Odd how so many terminate in Alaska and other places you wouldn't have expected.

There was a programme on about a ship laying the cables on Quest the otherday using a plough to bury the cables on the sea bed. The amount of effort going in to it is astounding.

It takes less time to lay transocean fiber cable than get copper phone line from BT

I would have thought that attaching cables to submarines would limit their navigational ability.

If it's difficult to go to the bottom of the sea due to pressure of all the weight of water, why don't the cables get crushed?

I suspect this is just another logic glitch in the matrix.

I think they built special tunnels for them to go in.
