My most interesting experience with fiber was at a facility in Mexico.
I installed a DVR on both sides of the road for a facility.  They had a
fiber pair under the road connecting both facilities.  Everyday in the
afternoon access to the DVR on the opposite side of the road would get
slow and cludgy.  I thought maybe it was a congested network, but I
could always access the DVR on the same side of the road just fine, AND
THEY HAD FIBER across the road.  One day I took a look at the fiber
translator to discover it was only 10Mbps.  They had a massive
bottleneck right in the middle of their network at what should have been
the fastest link.   It took me almost a year to get them to upgrade
their fiber link.  They had spent (by the time it was done) almost $50K
with me, but they baulked at spending a few hundred bucks to actually
use their fiber link at any reasonable capacity.
