| Excuse me, but its not just fibre that is fragile...
You can do the same damage to copper networks with a backhoe that you can do to a fibre network. I've pictures from a friend where a backhoe dug down, pulled up the bucket and bring up with it something like twenty feet of cable out of the of the hold before it snapper. Apparently the backhole operator though the big black, round thing was a root. IT turned out he had dug up a buried copper phone cable.
So, to say that fibre networks are more fragile is bunk... The problem isn't the network so much as it it the people who engineer the networks and the backhoe operators.
