Maps of underwater Fiber cables that carry the Internet

We stumbled across some great images of all the cables under sea that carry Internet bandwidth. I remember when Global Crossing was the first one throwing a line down to South America. Now there is thousands and the speeds around the world are a millisecond. Just amazing to Internet nerds like us. My only question is how will we get bandwidth to the Moon in a hundred years.

We also found a sketch of the cable structure here, it’s a little more insulated than the CAT6 we have in our data center:
