Re: Fiber cut - response in seconds?

I do feel this might be the last post from Mr Pooser. :) Your on to them it seems. ;) A very interesting idea. I imagine it wouldn't be hard for foreign actors to get access to the data feed of construction, observe for signs of a cut and then splice in a tap. Though wouldn't that tap be found via the real response team? Dave Pooser wrote:

Right. So why the "near instant" response time. If it's a diverse path, one would imagine that they could respond in a few hours or a day and not have any impact.

Just a guess, but: A cut cable is one thing. A cut cable in which people wearing different suits and driving a different brand of SUV might splice in a fiber tap is something altogether different.
