World’s internet is powered by the complex network of internet cables hidden inside the mighty oceans of Earth. These submarine cables lying on the ocean bed power your internet. Did you know the fact that these cables are mot much thicker than 8 cm and they transmit about 99 percent of all international data? Some of these cables are at depths up to 8,000 metres and the very first instance of submarine internet cables is found in the 1850s. These internet cables connect different countries, islands and continents. Notably, the longest of them stretches from Germany to Korea and measures about 40,000 km.
