I cannot help but salivate at the dense links connecting US/Europe and US/Asia.
Here in Kenya we only have 3 cables. Since last week the internet has been very slow after the main cable was severed by a ship anchor. The second cable seemed to have problems upstream so all the traffic has been routed to the third cable.
