A report by Internet analysis firm Renesys was released earlier this week where they believe Cuba activated an undersea fiber-optic cable the week prior, bringing broadband speeds to the country. The undersea fiber-optic cable has officially been confirmed by Etecsa, which is a Cuba’s government-owned telecom provider.
The cable runs 994 miles, which is estimated to cost $70 million, and connects directly to Venezula and has been operational since August. It was originally completed in February 2011 to then begin operating in July 2011, which officials didn’t explain why exactly it nearly took a year to start using it.
