This is what happened in Vancouver, Canada when a contractor did not measure correctly before drilling 6 steel rods into the side of an imbankment for support. They drilled into 7 cables, which contained over 23,000 pairs and 144 fibers. It took 8 days 24/7 to repair the damage. Ugh.... nightmares!

I used to work for BT years ago - loads of sudden major failures were due to JCB's digging up cables. __________________ Click here for a real, interactive, tv guide.
