Why. Well why not. Also the fact that this is also a useful resource. My example, is that, I love playing super smash bros. Now, when I want to play somebody online, I’m laggy, so I am careful who I try to play with. So, this website for matchmaking people shows the locations of other players. The other players have colours varying from blue to red for distance, trying to estimate your possible ping. Now, roughly, this isn’t a bad system. However, if every map of the various fibre networks the world has could be had, I could trace the fibre map to my opponent, and see how long, and estimate how laggy, the connection will be.
So essentially I want a thing to help estimate the ping of peer to peer connections.
I spent an afternoon worth of time finding maps (centering on where I live, Canada). After all these maps are collected, it would be nice if somebody could combine the images into one, singular, beautiful resource. It would be nice if I didn’t have to learn complicated image editing.
I will share what I have so far found into a google drive folder, as well as this other website. http://cablemap.info/

If this should have been posted in community, I am sorry. I am thinking this as a community project, but it does fit into the networking category.
