Well, imagine what happens when you have a body of water like Lake Ontario separating the key hubs on each side of the 
border, 151 Front Street and 350 Main Street. The fiber is probably stacked parallel around the lake and at certain 
points is collapsed into one right of way.

     Well,

     We have a case where 2 paths, between 151 front to somewhere in
Markham, ended up overlapping 3 times for about 300m total :(

     And to cap the whole thing off...  Enter the building thru the same
conduit.

     You pretty much need to be onsite supervising the whole thing up.

     And yes their files have the circuits going thru a home, what looks
like a gas station, an electrical grids, etc =D.  Pretty impressive.

     PS: As rodent, you mean the punks that fire bomb "that" conduit
under "that" bridge, a few years back?
