Who is affected
Countries where Asia Connect Cable-1 (ACC-1) comes ashore, how much of their submarine diversity this cable represents, and what our measurements into them show.

| Philippines resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 25 cables (4% of submarine diversity) | APCN-2, Apricot, Asia Direct Cable (ADC) +21 more | median 275 ms today vs 273 ms over 30 days (24 routes) - unchanged |
| Singapore resilience index: 78 · resilient |
1 of 46 cables (2% of submarine diversity) | APCN-2, Apricot, Asia Direct Cable (ADC) +42 more | median 107 ms today vs 188 ms over 30 days (81 routes) - faster |
| Timor-Leste resilience index: 33 · land links |
1 of 2 cables (50% of submarine diversity) | Hawaiki Nui 1 | average 224 ms over 30 days |
| United States resilience index: 100 · resilient |
1 of 119 cables (1% of submarine diversity) | ACS Alaska-Oregon Network (AKORN), AEC-1, Airraq +115 more | median 88 ms today vs 115 ms over 30 days (290 routes) - 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.
