This is the view from the front windscreen for the Ile de Sein, giving you an idea of the size of the ship. The Ile de Sein has just completed a 9,120km journey from Hawaii, and the cable will connect the Australian mainland tomorrow.
Telstra said around 65 percent of the Internet content accessed by Australians comes out of the US, and IP traffic has been doubling every two years, a trend that is expected to continue into the future.
Telstra was not willing to comment on the cost of the cable, but Kate McKenzie from Telstra Wholesale, said the company is "very confident of recovering cost".
