Do you know that how many Transoceanic fibre-optic cables connected to Sri Lanka? Until today I thought it is SLT who is dominating the transoceanic fibre business. But there are few more. As per the current data, we have 6 cables connected to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
1. Bay of Bengal Gateway (BBG)
Use by Dialog & Etisalat
2. SeaMeWe-4
SLT, Etisalat, Airtel
3. SeaMeWe-3
SLT, Etisalat
4. Dhiraagu-SLT Submarine Cable Network
SLT
5. WARF Submarine Cable
No information on Sri Lankan telecom companies that uses this.
6. Bharat Lanka Cable System
SLT
SLT has most of the connection. Etisalat is the 2nd. Dialog is also having a kind of a dedicated connection to connect to their Malaysian gateway.
I took these information from this site (http://www.submarinecablemap.com/). Have a look. It's amazing to see that lot of long distance cable are there to help us navigating the internet. A true engineering marvel.
