ok, this is just a gut feeling..
"SEACOM has completed and commissioned its 1,28 terabits per second
(Tb/s), 17, 000 kilometres"
yet at launch "Attendees at all launch events experienced the
high-speed capabalities took place through a one-gigabit-per-second
live international connection at all locations."

Questions:
1) Why was it that only 1 GB/s at all launch location if they had 1.28
Tb/s capacity?
2) Could they have just purchased some temporary 1 GB/s from
satellites, pumped it to completed segments for the launch?
3) Were we taken for a ride thus you guys that stayed up all night
pinging... pinging.. and pinging... you were fell for it?
oh no, I hope I am wrong...
