Don't take that to the bank.  On the way to work one morning
while some fiber was being routed up Market street in San Francisco
to my at-the-time employers office, I chatted with the digging crew
and found that they'd just discovered our building's copper bundle
almost 2 feet out of position from what the map said and nearly
had backhoed a large portion of San Francisco's long distance
lines and network connectivity.
