History & Notes
Hibernia Networks operated a global network across North America, Europe, and Asia, with key cable landing stations in Canada, the US, Ireland, and the UK. Its Hibernia Express cable was notable for sub-59ms latency between New York and London, targeting financial and media sectors. After the 2017 acquisition by GTT Communications, Hibernia’s infrastructure was absorbed, and no public documentation indicates a revival of its CDN services. A 2019 subsea cable cut led to a legal dispute with a customer, highlighting operational challenges pre-acquisition.
Telia Carrier was a leading provider with over 320 PoPs in 120 cities, known for its extensive fiber network and DDoS mitigation. The rebrand to Arelion reflects its shift to a standalone entity under Polhem Infra, focusing on global connectivity for enterprises and operators. No service discontinuation was reported, but the Telia Carrier brand is fully deprecated.
