> you'll never get better redundancy than having more than one carrier.

On the contrary, you get better redundancy by sticking to 
one carrier and making sure that they really provide
separacy though the entire span of the circuit. If you
have two carriers running fibre to yoiur building down
the same conduit, then you do NOT have separacy and as
a result, the redundancy is not there.

Of course, you can get separacy with two carriers but
it is generally more work to verify that the two companies
do not share fibre or conduit or tunnels.
