BSO Low latency fibre

We have a fibre link between UK and Asia, provided by BSO.

There's been an outage on it since Monday due to a "backbone fibre break" - that's the official word from BSO. What kind of service have we signed up for when they can't re-route us another way?

These circuits were signed and paid for by a person no longer employed, and the company who took them on merged with us last year, that's why I'm now supporting them with little knowledge of what they actually are.

Surely in the background it's just some kind of vpls implementation, but engineered for low latency, or is there some other technology in place here?
