Hi Daniel and all,Yes, multiple fiber in multiple conduits, traveling multiple paths is the best way to insure something's going to have connectivity. Ring topology is what I've seen mostly for best protection, if something goes down, restoration takes milliseconds and is automatic. Worst case, is some contractor digs up the place where your fiber enters your building and severs everything....not much you can do about that kind of outage.

Hi blitz, I think that you talk about multiple outage in the Telefonica Network in Spain cause by sabotage. (48 fibers in 4 points at the same time) I see ok the interest of the ministry, is necessary to assure that outages don't affect to the national infraestruture. In our case we build our network over diverse companys with diverse path in their fiber network. I see ok, that all companys that operate basic services do it and they will have backup and emergency plans.
