Telkom undersea capacity has been significantly upgraded, especially with 2010 FIFA World Cup in mind. There are at least nine undersea telecommunication cables including South Atlantic 3 and South Africa Far East (SAT3 & SAFE) that will connect various parts of Sub-Saharan Africa to the rest of the world by the end of 2011. By the end of 2009, the SAT3 and SAFE upgrades to at least three times their current capacity will be concluded.
