They don't run diverse fibre. So a primary fibre failure wipes out their network. BCL is used for redundancy, but BCL doesn't have anywhere enough capacity to carry the capacity being used on the fibre. As a result, a fibre break will result in a large loss of service.
I think it will be 2 to 5 years before sufficient fibre has been built to give stable redundant access.
I sincerely hope it's not quite that long Philip. http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/companyinfo/media_release_detail.cfm?newsid=20 8&news_type=tclArchive -- Michael Newbery IP Architect TelstraClear Limited
