Interactive map of the internet's underwater fibre optic cables

I hope you didn't sob for too long ......

probably all the way to the bank.

Awwww, don't take my earlier post personally, it was aimed at ALL agents, you represent them on here. I hope you didn't sob for too long ......

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

Can't have or they wouldn't be able to lay via ship.

Unless you mean tunnel as in hard protective cable coating to stop the fibre optic part from being crushed. But if it was that hard it wouldn't bend on the reel the ships use.

So I'm still not buying this really happens. It's all a big con and they use satellites instead. The cable companies charge for a fake cable and just buy some bandwidth on a satellite. Nice scam.

Wow, an interesting thread on CUK. I literally don't know what to say ......

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.

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?

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

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.

was that part of the Might Ships series?

That's expected.

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