The world's longest undersea fiber optic cable, 2Africa, connects the UK, enhancing regional internet performance.

The 2Africa undersea cable, the world's longest at 45,000 kilometers, has connected Cornwall, UK. This system is jointly owned by several telecom giants with the aim of enhancing internet connectivity across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Vodafone leads the UK access, ensuring the cable is safely buried and seamlessly integrated with terrestrial networks. The cable boasts a transmission capacity of up to 180 terabits per second, achieving the first full coverage of the African continent, connecting 33 countries. It is now partially operational and is expected to significantly improve regional internet performance.
