That map is pretty cool but as already said I don't think it's all of them.

Probably totally unrelated but over the last few days we have been having intermittent issues where some parts of the world just drop out.

no problems as of yet, only problem is usenet and thats because ive ran out of money

that map seems pretty complex. good to see that london is quite an internet hub

Divers?

Maybe they can loop it up to a ship actually, that'd make more sense.

They hoist them onto a specialist ship, cut some off both the broken ends then splice them back together. There was something on the discovery channel about it a while ago
