Best option from Cuba to UK - Europe?

andy · 19-09-2013, 01:23

When looking at this for people on another forum quite a while ago, I read that there were proposals for a submarine cable from Venezuela which would vastly improve Cuba's connection to the rest of the world.

A brief search shows that this was commissioned into use earlier this year, with a further connection to Jamaica, so internet speeds were improved from January.

Whether or how this affects mobile data use and prospects of VoIP I haven't yet looked

Apparently there is also a cable from Florida to Yucatan which passes only 50 km or so from Havana, but presumably the chances of something being arranged there are based on political rather than technical reasons
