The Equator and internet service??
Does being closer to the equator have anything to do with internet service? Up North it could be raining, sleeting, snowing cats and dogs and I ALWAYS had internet service. Here in Florida, EVER...

Not true. There are a multitude of undersea fiber cables coming in to Florida.
And exactly how many of them carry domestic traffic to and from the rest of the US ?? Clue: none.
I've read that GlobeNet has undersea fiber running between Tuckerton, NJ and Boca Raton, FL running at 1.36 Tbit/s, but test to 5.76 Tbit/s. It's been in place since 2001. There's another GlobeNet cable running between Brookhaven, NY and Hollywood, FL, that's controlled by Internet backbone provider Level3 that went into service in 2000. I don't know if those would be considered "domestic traffic" carriers though.
