If you're suggesting that Qwest is the only carrier using railroad right of ways I suggest you take a closer look at those little orange posts running along the side of train tracks.. I've seen MCI, Worldcom, AT&T, sprint and others running along the same tracks from Seattle to Portland.

If fibers being cut is the culprit here, does going with a supplier like Qwest make sense because their fibers are running down railroad right of ways and, therefore, should be less succeptible to a backhoe digging where it shouldn't be? Or are you looking at other, more secure mediums for the bulk of your traffic?
