Localy, the main 2 providers have a "copper/fiber independent" networks.I'm pretty sure the WISPs in the Santa Cruz and Gilroy/Morgan Hill areas were all also taken offline due to the fiber cut. (Roy, can you verify, for south county?) Anyone in those areas who relied on a WISP as a backup to their fiber/copper link found that their "redundant" system wasn't really redundant after all. You may want to check (verify) how your 2 main providers handle their backhaul. jc
It based on where the WISP fiber feed was located but in general they were all down. There were some special edge cases that stayed up fed from distant mountain tops. It didn't seem to matter who your upstream ISP was, they were all gone.
