On this page I collect links to the network maps of bandwidth providers in and around the African continent. Both submarine cable systems and terrestrial fiber systems are included. Where only a global map is available for a company with African assets, such as for the larger telecoms, I refer to the International Network Maps page so that I don’t have duplicate links to keep up to date. This is a part of the world I have little direct experience with, and for which finding detailed information is quite difficult. So I do not even remotely pretend that this list is comprehensive yet.
