“ Lufthansa said construction work on a rail line in Frankfurt was to blame for the massive IT failure,. ”
No, Lufthansa not having sufficient resilience was to blame.
No, Lufthansa not having sufficient resilience was to blame.
Hopefully they fix it until next Monday. I'm having a flight to Frankfurt then.
Off topic, sorry. I'm curious why Germans often use this phrasing. Is there a "false friend" [1] in English? (I assume you mean 'before', not 'until')
Don't go there before Monday. Don't go there until Monday.
You can get this deal until Monday. You can get this deal before Monday. (Some lack of clarity about whether the offer is valid on Monday with until though)
But I agree, it doesn't work in this context.
English is weird.

It is incredibly common for multiple fiber bundles to have a shared path, because it's often easier to locate another bundle in the same place. Fiber is often laid along rail lines because rail lines have the perfect property shape for communication, and there's specialty train cars that make laying fiber alongside the rail really efficient.
No, it's not. Metro Fiber links are designed and deployed in a ring topology for exactly this reason. See:
It's really easy for a vendor to claim that there's no point at which a single backhoe can take out two of the A/B/C/D/E paths in your diagram. It's also pretty easy to buy dark fiber from two different vendors that are reselling in the same bundle or have their bundles placed in the same conduit.
>"It's also pretty easy to buy dark fiber from two different vendors that are reselling in the same bundle or have their bundles placed in the same conduit."
Wrong again. If you are purchasing an IRU on dark fiber you know exactly who owns the physical assets. If you are purchasing wavelengths from a reseller they will happily disclose whose network they are reselling. Additionally you can request the CLR/DLR for your circuit and see exactly how it's built. You can also easily avoid resellers and not worry at all about this.
Lastly you seem to not understand the difference between long haul and metro fiber.
