Hey Francis, You use armoured fiber in such cases. Harry Quoting Francis Hook <francis.hook@gmail.com>:

Hi,
I was reading through the CIO May issue and came across and interesting article on the roll out of metro fibre optic cable in South Africa.
i3 Africa is rolling out their national fibre optic cable through the sewerage system, this should increase the cost of hiring vandals to sabotage the competitors network, this could be a new revenue stream for our local authorities.
