Answer 2

Data actually travels via fiber optic cables that travel below the sea across the oceans to every continent except Antarctica. It's pretty amazing, in fact the first cable was laid and operating in 1850 across the English channel. The first trans-Atlantic cable connection Europe with America was laid in the 1860s as a telegraph cable. These cables are still in place, but have been replaced by other cables throughout the 1900s and most recently by fiber optic cables in the 1980s. We do not use satellite for much of our standard communication, including websites, we use these cables.
