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.

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?

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
