Esther The kplc fibre is up in the sky - you can dare to climb and cut it once but you will not live to cut another fibre !! ----- that is the ultimate deterrence Cable breakage will never cease for varied reasons - cable operators should build redundancy through self healing rings as a long term measure. It is the standard.

It is underground or over the wire poles?

Why can't all the stakeholders come together and pool resources and come up with some sort of tunnel infrastructure with smart card controlled access hatches and service tunnels where all these cables are encased in the physical security of concrete? And no, the usual card of appealing to government need not be played. Let the players take initiative. It's in their own best interest.

I think the real issue here is what the government is doing do arrest the situation, mere talk of stiffer penalties with no real action is not going to stop individuals interested in sabotage. I think the ministry incharge should excise its teeth and act immediately on this cases. This seems to be an issue that has led to very minimal excitement on the landing of fibre. Most importantly industry players should also address the issue TOGETHER and stop this counter accusations. I don't think this is building confidence in the whole FOC.
Just me two cents
