My team is responsible for many services running over openreach and other BT point to point fibres, both local connections like EADs, and longer distance stuff.

My team is responsible for many services running over openreach and other BT point to point fibres, both local connections like EADs, and longer distance stuff. My company has thousands. The number of RFOs I see which report outages due to either fibre disturbances in an exchange or is phenomenal. I don't really have any idea how that compares with copper, but my home DSL runs over copper to the exchange and doesn't go down anywhere near as much.
