Submerged deep sea internet cables that connect the continents.
This confuses me.
Physically low.. as in deep
I don't see how the whole world Internet could rely on cable under the ocean when my phone cable might last barely a year and it just sits in my car, not under water. It's like computers that control airplanes or NASA, but i constantly have to restart in order to get an email attachment.

They’re fiber optic these days, and often include rebroadcasters and signal boosters. That cannot be considered low-tech.
Physically low, as in deep
You got me, I admit it
