Here in my area most of business outfits that require maximum
availability of Internet or WAN conenctions have implemented dual
connections from dual providers, most with a fiber/copper main and a
fixed wireless backup. This trend goes from banks to Mcdonalds =20

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 ...
