      Yes, but as everything is bigger in Texas, the same is valid for percentages. So, 0.08% in Texas corresponds to roughly 17% in Nevada, because of reasons.

    "This is not the first time gunfire has taken down the internet. In 2022, Xfinity fiber cable in Oakland, California went offline after people allegedly fired 17 rounds into the air near one of the company’s fiber lines. "
