Will Forex work if the Atlantic internet cable blows up

There is more than one though they work at different latencies. If the fastest one goes down then all the data will go the next best route. Generation 2 starlink satellites are meant to be faster than cable as the satellites will talk to each other in the vacuum of space by laser. This may be another Musk promise that takes longer than anticipated to be realised though.

Hmm, that's all theory.
Starlink not gonna happen. It's too political and Musk need to become friend of politics again in order to get that nice permissions.

In practice: thanks for the latency hint. So different brokers will have different latencies, right? That's fair enough for me. :)
 
There's more than a few cables, there's connections from a lot of countries and don't forget even Africa is connected to South America via separate cables. Technically you can also be routed from Europe to America via Asia.
 
I also would say it can only affect your latency. If you reside in heart of Europe, than London which is the main hub here is not far away. So this is more an issue for overseas scalper I might guess. There is always a route, you cannot shut down the internet. Thus you can always trade forex if that was your question.
 
Like wanting to save the kids trapped in a cave in Thailand? Lol. Musk is a fascinating person, absolutely devout and laser focused to making money but absolutely incapable of human emotions and of holding meaningful relationships. A total jackass, often times childish AF and not afraid to expose his often times stupid mistakes for everyone to see. Kind of a smart version of Trump when it comes to making money but otherwise equally low in EQ and entirely lacking ethical or moral comprehension and awareness.
