On top of that, one basic principle of telecommunications:
No matter how much diversity and path redundancy, tons of concrete or
titanium sealed fiber vaults you have, in the data exchange between points
A and B there will be always two single points of failure: A and B.
IMHO, this thread is getting way off topic, boring and useless.
Fiber cut is over, there will be many more, move on ...
