Southern Ireland enjoys access to new submarine cable

More about submarine cables
Submarine cables are easily one of the most impressive logistical feats of recent human history. According to Mental Floss, there are nearly 300 submarine communication cables currently under the waves. About 20 of these cables are inactive, set to turn on once another cable has exhausted its 25 year service life. In addition to having contingency plans for aging wires, the scientific community has been hard at work to prevent current submarine cables from becoming obsolete. Recent advances in phase modulation techniques have made it possible for companies to greatly increase a submarine cable's capacity to account for growing amounts of online traffic. Despite the inherent difficulties to running Internet cables under the sea, the project is still cheaper and more effective than expanding access via satellite.
