15,000 KM Fiber Optic Line Brings Faster Internet to SA

A new fiber optic data transmission line running 15,000KM from France to South Africa is set to begin operating at the end of June, bringing faster Internet access.

Costing more than R5-billion and spanning several continents, the 15 000km fibre-optic cable that runs under water from France via East Africa to Mtunzini on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, promises lower broadband costs and faster data transfer.
