I'd be interested to the network topology.

VM Fibre cabinets are all connected in an SDH ring so if the fibre gets cut in one place service is not interupted.

I doubt BT could mirror that with their network and would think that their cabinets will be connected by a point to point fibre, therefore if that fibre was ever cut you'd lose the whole cab and everyone on it.

Believe me cable hits are very common.
