Every time this pops up I wish that it was merged with the overland cable maps for a global network view. Turns out something like that exists. https://www.in

Infrapedia looks incredible and far more detailed. When zoomed in, Infrapedia accurately displays the ends of cables down to the street and building.

  At least a handful of the Australian cables don't correctly show the buildings where they terminate. Source: have worked on and around submarine cables in Aus

    LOL in Singapore, some of the cables are shown to terminate at a prison complex! Completely inaccurate.

      Or they have totally succeeded in their subterfuge with the whole "nobody will believe our secret lair is inside this prison complex!"

  Remarkably, it shows a cable owned/installed by Zayo that goes right through the edge of my tiny village in rural New Mexico. The company, AFAICT, is not consumer-facing - too bad, because if it was, it would be a local gamechanger.

Interesting. I was looking at the seemingly odd choice of a loop out of Texas to Mississippi through the Gulf. Then I realized the roughnecks on the drilling platforms need their netlfix bing fixes too!

> Turns out something like that exists Except that map is rubbish. Sorry, but it is. Look at the UK for example, apparently "iomart DC4 Leicester" is just off Berkeley Square, London. Not only is that technically incorrect (Leicester != London), but its hilarious to propose that anyone would build a datacentre in that part of London (its hedge-fund central where rents are three-digits per square foot .... plus there isn't the space anyway to build a datacentre of any sort of meaningful scale). And the map is just full of such examples. So yeah, I've grave concerns for the accuracy of that resource.
