Personally, I read it more as "95% of it is over a single medium", and that it's less about the actual length. But, for the sake of comparison, the US has 6,853,024km of roads and 95,932km of expressways according to Wikipedia [0] (far and away the most of any country in the world, interestingly). Broadband penetration for the US is >50% for any demographic [1], so extrapolating there's millions of kilometers of internet cable just to support the US's internet needs. So maybe that number is pretty amazing after all... [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_road_network_size https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_road_netw...
