If your job depends on the internet (it does), spend ten minutes on this map. Zoom into the west coast of Africa and count the lines. Then zoom into the North Atlantic. Then reread my cable thread.

I open this every time Vietnam has "đứt cáp" news. Count the lines landing in Vietnam, then count Singapore :)

Just counted the lines landing near Lagos and Accra. Now I understand my 14 March better 😂

A fine way to lose an afternoon. Click any cable and you get the owners and the year it went into service. Some of the ones near Australia are older than my car. Cheers, G.

Sweden has more lines than I expected. Also humbling how many routes squeeze through the same few landing points.
