>when evaluating data centers I had one tell me they had redundant connections to the Internet but what they really had were two lambdas on the same fiber. Sadly, this kind of shenanigan is pretty common. I've also seen datacenters that have additional providers on different fiber...but when you follow the fibers upstream, all fiber winds up at the same POP. Predictably, outages at the POP would take the downstream datacenters offline.
