I would gladly go back to dial up than contribute to Communists. :-)
LOL! And installed by a young crew from Colorado.
I hope that Giant Lobster doesn’t eat through the Cables.
I thought repeaters were required for fiber optic?
We are all government laid, so to speak. The cables get better treatment though.
Do you realize that the heat from all of this underwater cables has the potential to raise the temperature of the oceans and perhaps make them boil away into the atmosphere! I’m working on a computer simulation that will show that this is possible right now. And if a computer program and be made to show something is possible, even if one has to manipulate the input, then it will happen.

That’s incredible. Here we have at least three companies that do the “last mile” connection to your home, plus dozens that use at least part of those networks, either as resellers or “hybrids”. My ISP is a hybrid that maintains its own network but uses the major telcos (Bell and Rogers) for the connection to the home. IMO this happy state of affairs is due to the fact that ISPs are not regulated anywhere near as heavily as the telcos.
Still 2/3c for 3000 miles beats full c for 52000.
