I lived in NZ for two years. It's a great place, but abysmally slow internet was a frequent annoyance.

#17I wonder do they just drop the transatlantic cables blindly over the mid-atlantic ridge and hope for the best or check that it's not a hot spot or something.
And four cables connect Alaska to the lower 48? I wonder why.

What? How? It's as dangerous as posting a map of nuclear power plants online. It's not like the cables go into unguarded shacks - the base stations are heavily guarded.

#19Hard to imagine NSA intercepts most of that.
all five cables landing at that tiny country in the Horn of Africa, Djibouti? they terminate into half a floor of a single building about 150ft from the shoreline. the NSA has been tapping submarine optical cables since the early nineties.
for the patch panels they can't get to, there's always the covert submarine they are purported to have.

#20I imagine you can use wget or curl to download the images (or other batch download tools that let you put in ranges), then ImageMagick to stitch them together. Not too hard, but all command line tools that may take a bit of experimenting to get right.
