What? When did they build the underwater tubes? Wouldn't that take decades and billions of dollars. I'm pretty sure it's wireless, bro.

naw they use giant cables bro, that's why we can't go back to the moon. they broke the first one.

Did you know those wires occasionally chew on the wires? Not only did humans think of laying cables underwater, but someone no smarter than you had to design them to be shark-proof.

Satellites are not real - Earth is flat.

[Anonymous No.11212000]

Internets is a series of Marconi tubes!!!

Seriously though, fiber is ran all around the world and is how data is crossed. Satellite used to be a good go to, but latency and capacity makes fiber runs much better.

Only part where satellites improve in terms of latency is running a bunch of low earth orbit satellites.

Older brother works on missile systems, can confirm world isn't flat and satellites are real.

we've had satellites for decades, whereas the tech that makes high speed cables work is relatively new. also, cables have tonnes of benefits over satellite.

[Anonymous No.11212024]

Before cables connected the oceans was there just local internet? That must have seen far fetched to stretch a cable across the globe. Kind of like it’s far fetched for a network of oracles to trigger a swift smart bond. Interesting.

Microwave transmission has somewhat limited range and logarithmic scales down when there is vapor in the air. Which funnily enough is almost always over water. Also most microwave links are still in the 100 mbps range max so good luck servicing a lot of islands in a chain. Meanwhile afrtica is dry and only need bandwidth for wankanda videos and nigerian prince emails.

Agreed plan. Countries then sub to their own guy. All in all fiber is a crucial backbone. If you don’t have good fiber infrastructure your fucked. The fiber backbone then connects to central offices around the globe then loops satellites. One huge loop of access. The tech does gets better
