What I have HUGE doubts
about is how they transport all of that data back to their data centres,
unless they have a massive quantity of dark (private) fibre that no one
knows about.

They probably would have set up a decentralized infrastructure, with multiple (smaller) daca centres all over the 
world. This way they can store and process the collected data on site and don't need to transport everything home. 

Cheers,

Christian

I think the NSA could twist arms in the U.S. and I think that they could
have a deal with the U.K. and maybe Canada, what I have HUGE doubts
about is how they transport all of that data back to their data centres,
unless they have a massive quantity of dark (private) fibre that no one
knows about.

Don't forget that they also have to back haul that data to their data
centres !! They would have to have secret agreements with all of the
Tier 1 carriers. Sure sounds far fetched!

Right. But where are their tap ? In Internet Exchange Point ? In AS
? And how can they do that ? "Hello, I'm NSA, can I get a TAP on
your network" :-) This would say that ISP agree and the amount of
data to transfer would be so vast . How can they transfer all this
amount of data into their system ??

Optically tapping ALL of the submarine cable going into and out of
the U.S. would still not give them ALL of the claimed data. They
have to be tapping all of the major traffic exchange sites in the
U.S. to get this kind of data.

Did you understood how they collect data ? This is not clear for

Optical tap on sub marine wire ?
