I'm assuming there is a typo in the 49,889km (31,000miles) for the cable to Tonga. As the cable repair ship that covers the area looks after 50,000km (31,000 miles) of cable. Even so... ~4.99k is a lot of extension leads!!!

It says the 49, 889 km of cable 'serves the south pacific', which I read as being the total length of all the internet cable serving the south Pacific region, rather than just Tonga.
