It really depends on what your availability requirements are.
It's good that the provider has two separate fibre networks, but if all transit traffic ends up on the same core network then it doesn't provide you with very useful redundancy. If your BGP sessions will be to two separate *** (even if they are owned by one provider) then that is somewhat better.
If at all possible you are better off with two (or more) totally separate upstreams. This is why it is to important to be located in a carrier-neutral colo facility - it makes having multiple upstreams much easier and cheaper.
