Who is affected
Countries where Deep Blue One comes ashore, how much of their submarine diversity this cable represents, and what our measurements into them show.
| Country | Dependence on this cable | Other submarine cables | What the measurements show |
|---|---|---|---|
| French Guiana resilience index: 40 · vulnerable |
1 of 3 cables (33% of submarine diversity) | EllaLink, Kanawa | average 151 ms over the last day vs 314 ms over 30 days - faster |
| Guyana resilience index: 37 · vulnerable |
1 of 3 cables (33% of submarine diversity) | Suriname-Guyana Submarine Cable System (SG-SCS), X-Link Submarine Cable | average 45 ms over 30 days |
| Suriname resilience index: 47 · vulnerable |
1 of 3 cables (33% of submarine diversity) | EllaLink, Suriname-Guyana Submarine Cable System (SG-SCS) | average 51 ms over the last day vs 97 ms over 30 days - faster |
| Trinidad & Tobago resilience index: 64 · moderate |
1 of 6 cables (17% of submarine diversity) | Eastern Caribbean Fiber System (ECFS), EC Link, Southern Caribbean Fiber +2 more | average 119 ms over the last day vs 206 ms over 30 days - faster |
Dependence is structural (share of the country's submarine cables), not a traffic share: real traffic distribution across cables is not public.

Detection method
Latency is sampled continuously from our probe network. An alert opens when round-trip time to a monitored endpoint holds above its rolling baseline, and closes automatically once it returns. Full method is described on the methodology page.
