Internet resilience requires taking a holistic view of the many components and actors that enable the Internet.

The narrative of the story should highlight the resilience of subsea cables and the Internet as a whole to continue working despite these and other faults.

Venezuela has undergone one of the most profound non-war crises in modern history that has significantly impacted the country's critical Internet infrastructure.

South America's three smallest economies—Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname—recently increased their international Internet capacity and future Internet resilience thanks to a new submarine cable.

Two reports show the importance that strong peering relationships and resilience played to keep the Internet on during major African outages.

Research into different greenhouse gas emission scenarios has started to explore how future climate change may affect subsea cables and their shore-based landing stations.

Researchers analyze infrastructure from a network-layer perspective and develop a method to identify long-haul links in extensive traceroute datasets.

Countries in the East and South of Africa are experiencing slower Internet connectivity due to two submarine cables — EASSy and Seacom — being cut during the weekend.

Economic disruption and impact following disruption to undersea Internet network infrastructure is becoming a priority for many national risk registers.

Bangladesh is experiencing slightly slower Internet connectivity to international hosted services due to an outage to one of the two submarine cables connecting the country.

Despite the critical importance of submarine cables, we have a limited understanding of how their failures affect end-to-end Internet connectivity.
