Nice when it works. We lost our DS3 for about 18 hours 2 weeks ago. Seventeen OC-48 links were cut. When we asked the about the self-healing, they said, normally it would, but not with the many gone. They couldn't get permission to dig up the road so that had to patch around, that made the repair take twice as long. And two days later, before they could the patched section buried, a truck took the same 17 out one more time. They were running overhead. Local politics I assume kept them from doing it the right way the first time.
