Thats soon!!!!
Well, so I went and googled undersea cables..... a while later i saw the world map. Europe < North America < Asia < Europe, looks buzzy. Then I went down to the area where I live, one line (other sites shows more) on the east and west coast of Africa. One to Europe, the other to the middle east.
The west coast is said to get a upgrade to be finished in 2011. 3000 something gig =D. But all is to Europe.
