Fastnet

Fastnet is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Ireland and United States. Landing at Castlefreke, Ocean City, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. The transatlantic corridor has been connected by submarine cables since 1858, when the first telegraph cable was laid between Ireland and Newfoundland. Real-time monitoring by GeoCables compares current latency measurements from RIPE Atlas probes against baseline data to identify anomalies on this cable route.
