That's not what the "location" column means- you don't think there are exactly two cords leading into the state of Texas, do you? It's just the physical location of that router.
no, not two cords, two very wide tubes that trucks can go through.
That's for international communication. States have power poles (notice all the wires on them? they're not just power...) and buried wires that a lot of the internet also go through.
