SONET won't save you unless you *know* that you have *real* diversity (yes,
it's possible for the two loops to be from different providers, and *still*
end up going down different wavelengths on the *same* piece of glass... ;)

Getting two providers to cough up where the cable *actually* goes can be
really difficult - and it's even worse when everybody's cable uses the same bridge
or tunnel or whatever to get past a river or similar obstruction....
