@@BaterBoiJukes not sure exactly what you mean, but I'll try my best. The fiber optic cable itself is extremely thin, and is shielded by numerous layers all with a different purpose.

The glass fibers actually don't need the insulation to transmit the light, the insulation is only there to protect the fibers from the environment and give it a little more strength...glass and even clear plastic sheets can transmit light extremely easy and very little light is lost until it reaches a break or a frosted edge...
Fiber cable is composed of 2 parts. An inner layer that "conducts" photon and an outer layer that have a slightly higher refraction to keep photon in inner layer.

If you're playing a game with a friend across the atlantic, the bottleneck for connection speeds is the game's servers and the conversion to light, not the transfer of data in the cables.
Fun fact - when you make a phone call, your voice is converted from audio to Electrical, and then into a light signal. That light is what is sent down the fibre optic cable, and received at the other end, and converted back into an audio signal for the person that you are speaking to.
That is objectively untrue. The companies which run these cables are not Time Warner or AT&T, the reason those companies have a pseudo monopoly is because running cables to 300,000,000 people's homes is expensive AF. Why would you run a cable to compete with the other guy if you don't even know if you will win the contract?
Imagine receiving an accidentally damaged fiber optic wire from the manufacturer and laying it out in the Pacific and then having to troubleshoot where the damaged wire is located
I always thought this was fascinating: Say you're playing an online game of Call of Duty. When you shoot somebody in the game, the data showing that you shot them has to go through the internet and to the router of the player you shot, faster than the bullet hits them in the game.
So I could just go underwater and cut those lines to stop the internet in a whole country? Edit: idk why people are fighting in the comments pls help 😭

In my debatable opinion, the internet is our greatest achievement to date. Imagine telling someone in 1970 that they could literally carry virtually all the known information in the world in their pocket. Of course it is also one of our great downfalls.
Those are just a subset of what constitutes the Internet, and a good portion of the spectrum on those fiber optic cables isn't Internet, but leased circuits for backbone connectivity for service providers and enterprise networks. Much of the Internet is terrestrial fiber that is run along highways, rail, electric, and natural gas lines. Most of your traffic is served from content distribution networks close to where you live... not much requires connectivity across subsea cables.
Reminds me of something i heard regarding internet storage. They said how all of our emails and whatnot arent saved in satellite but in computer tower looking machines that are running nonstop in deserts.
By the way, the download speed of one of those cables is around 20,000gb per second. A signal can travel 180,000 miles per second, that’s why we have pretty much instant messaging with Europe.
