I agree as an European resident that is varies by country, but my impression is
that it is a lot less. For example, fiber cuts on the European racetrack
(London/Paris/Frankfurt/Amsterdam/London) seems to involve buried cable. It may
just be a difference in regulatory regimes.

Right. Here in France it (aerial running along with copper) happens
even close to metropoles (like Paris).
