Well, if one were moving to the US, stay away from South Dakota, if you like close proximity to a backbone.

#22There has been incidents where areas of the world have been temporarily cut off because their main cable was accidentally or intentionally cut.

#23There is only a screenshot of the US. The world map looks hidden in some url linked in the article. And when you try the link, it works only on flash. No thank you.
I actually did click the "Allow Flash" button, but only to find that the page hanged and I had to kill it. Quite underwhelming so you didn't lose a lot

#26"Internet Atlas maps the physical internet to enhance security" "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.0 or greater is installed."
Makes me sad that something "new" still requires Flash in 2017 :/
Makes me happy the OP didn't have Flash installed. Fingers crossed they didn't install it just to see the site.

#27"first detailed map of the Internet's structure worldwide" Opens the link to the article. Sees map of the U.S. only. Finds no links in the article linking to a world map either...
chuckle World Series of Internet. The article carefully avoids providing a link to the actual site, but it is here: http://internetatlas.org/
I wonder why people get off on writing articles and hinting at the reader about the original article or PDF and then never linking it? Are they that desperate to keep people on their site just for the ads?

Except that the "hang" is all the malware downloading to your computer.

That's just underwater cables though. That's not the actual land infrastructure that connects everyone together.
