A Global Map of the Internet’s Undersea World

A Wikipedia post says in which just 1% of Internet data and voice traffic is transferred via satellite links even though the left over 99% remains to be carried by undersea cables spread over the world’s oceans. This describes the reason why Internet services get interrupted when these undersea cables are broken because of passing ships or perhaps in the case of some undersea earthquake.

It’s advisable to look into the most recently updated Submarine Map which provides some great understanding of the physical tracks of such cables lying underneath the sea bed. It is really an enjoyable map so you’re able to zoom-in undersea cables.
