GeoCables measures the internet itself: our own network polls 13,800 addresses in 235 countries around the clock, runs probes and traceroutes from our own points, and lets you measure from your browser. Below is everything the site can do for you, grouped by the question you came with.
Every country page starts with the answer: yes, it works as usual, or no, there is an outage since this time. Under it: how long similar outages lasted, the risk for the next 7 days, what witnesses on the ground report, leading providers and the submarine cables that feed the country. 235 countries, in real time.
Iraq example
Press one button and your browser measures the round trip to five regions of the world, IPv6, where your traffic lands and speed, in ten seconds. The answer is in words: normal, slower than usual or bad, and whether it is your side or the network. Your result becomes a witness for your country; your address is not stored.

Open the radar
Country outages, cable incidents and land route events in one feed, newest first, with a daily internet weather summary.
Events feed
Type a website and watch your request run across the ocean floor: landing stations, cables, kilometres under the sea, milliseconds, share of the speed of light, and what happens to the path if any cable on it breaks. Built from our measurements and our graph of 728 cables.
Show my path
Each cable page: route, landing stations, owners, live latency across the cable against its 7-day norm, incidents, a 0-100 index, and which countries lose a path or gain latency if this cable is cut.
2Africa example
How a country is connected by sea: landing stations, cables, resilience index 0-100, the cables whose loss would hurt most, recent incidents and a link to the outage status.
Egypt example
Every latency incident on a cable: when it started, how long it lasted, how far latency rose above the norm, and the vessels seen within 5 km of the route in the hours around it.
Incidents
How long an outage will last and the 7-day outage risk are estimates. This page compares them with what actually happened and shows how often they held, by kind of outage and by month.
