This might be a stupid question, but is it implicit that these "submarine cables" are all fiber cables? If so, are they of similar or very different bandwidths? I would think there are cables of differing ages that are used for different things, or are all non-fiber cables taken out of service long ago, or are they just not included on the map?
Also, the "Polar Express" cable on that map is fascinating, but it seems like it's not planned to be completed until 2026.[1]
