And can be hard to know without serious dilligence - two of our upstreams
happened to go through the same 360 networks conduit in montreal that "saw
significant rodent activity". Both were down for 6 hours. A couple customers
had some custom apps that relied on the two, each as redundancy to the other.

That didnt work out.

Getting salesdroids to give you the info can be very hard though, and even
tech dept's may not know what secondary providers their fibres run through or
where, readily.
