This thing is enormous. This just looks...like the whole internet. Do they fully own those undersea lines too like Google does now with theirs? Or are they leased?
I sure hope they don’t turn out to be a front company for a foreign nation’s military lol like I am always on here saying.
- samcrawford 7y agoTheir map is a bit misleading - they only cover North America and Europe well, which is not really "the whole internet". Their coverage in Asia, Oceania, South America, the Middle East and Africa is poor or non-existent. Level3 (now CenturyLink) have better coverage - http://www.centurylink-business.com/demos/network-maps.html http://www.centurylink-business.com/demos/network-maps.html - but even they have poor coverage in some areas.
- walrus01 7y agoCogent does not own the underlying cables. They buy transport from companies like zayo, CenturyLink/level3.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoThis is just (paid) peering and leased fiber, no? How much of it is dark fiber vs. lit?
