In this episode of Untangling Web3, Tim Creswick, founder and CEO of Vorboss, explains the physical and technical infrastructure behind the internet—what it is, how it moves data, and why fibre networks are the foundation of modern connectivity.

With a focus on metro fibre, subsea cables, and security vulnerabilities, Tim provides a high-resolution breakdown of how the internet really functions beneath the surface, and what Web3, AI, and future technologies need to scale.

Key highlights:

• Subsea Cables vs. Satellites: Most global internet traffic travels through undersea fibre optic cables, not satellites. While satellite systems like Starlink are impressive, they are capacity-limited and latency-prone compared to physical fibre. Deep sea cables—laid across oceans since the 1800s—enable ult ...
