Re: It the SINGLE links that are fragile, not the fiber
Not necessarily.
To increase the capacity of a fiber link you simply change out the gear on both sides 
Carriers can share the same physical fiber using DWDM technology. (Each carrier would be placed on their own wavelengths).
People in this forum complain that phone/tv/internet service is too costly, however when the carrier attempts to save money in order to provide a less costly service everyone complains when there are problems.
Providing telecommunications services isn't cheap. When consumers and businesses are willing to pay a fair price or a given service then carriers will be able to build in the necessary redundancies, customer service etc to appropriately address the customers' needs. People need to learn just because telco services may be cheaper elsewhere that doesn't necessarily entitle them to the same price / service tiers.
