Engineer diaries

Spanning land, sea and even space, our network quietly powers everyday life, stretching across 180 countries, supported by over a million kilometres of terrestrial fibre and more than 70 submarine cables running along the ocean floor.

Meet some of the people who make that happen, one climb, one fix and one connection at a time.
