Undersea cable systems

who cares about the dates.. we've waited long enough...
I wanna know what speeds we can expect......
 
Methinks that when MTN/VODACOM/NEOTEL and everyone else has built their own backbones/networks my Telkom ADSL should speed up significantly. Everybody would have jumped off the Telkom network! :D and Telkom would have SAT3 and ESSy pretty much all to itself. :cool:
 
This is great news :)

Do you guys have a link for a video or pictures of how something like this is done, too lazy to search :p

Wanna show the guys at work, when i told them it runs undersea they were :eek: & i was like :D
