Every carrier has had a circuit go down. The difference is the carrier's
response, in particular how well they keep their customers informed.
On the other hand, there is a significant statistical difference between
major carriers of service affecting cable cuts and the mean time to repair.
Which might be somewhat of a surprise because the physical cuts are more
or less evenly distributed among the carriers, on a pro-rata basis.
Among "major" carriers (i.e. with more than 20,000 route miles active)
Sprint has the fewest service affecting cable cuts
AT&T is the best at keeping customer's informed
