Back when dinosaurs roamed, and fiber was in it's early daze, I worked for a megabank...."on paper", we were good....dual fiber trunks, seperate carriers, planned outages on occasion, the whole nine yards...so we thought, and we were....until we weren't
. Unbeknown to "us", somehow both fiber trunks had been routed through a common 6" culvert, even though we were assured differently. Enter a construction backhoe downtown.....fiber wasn't easy to repair in those daze either....fun times
