Um, excuse me, but there are no "1" and "0" bits in fiber optic cable. There are only "light" and "dark" bits. The fiber optic transceivers must make the translation. And I heard it was dark bits that were stuck in the cables. I also heard a team of Qwest engineers were going to ride the lines looking for these stuck dark bits.
