This is why you have fiber leaving your datacenter in two different direction and to two backbone providers. Once you do your due diligence, it's really hard to guarantee your providers never share infrastructure. Good luck guys!
- bcoates 11y agoAlso, be aware that fiber sabotage is a thing that happens. It's rare, but it's bad, and in my experience even top-notch providers take days to recover from it. Even if you aren't the target, it doesn't matter how many redundant links your single uplink provider has if the threat model is hostile actors with their infrastructure mapped out vs. wayward backhoes.
