Let ▫${mathcal{D}}^E_q(G)$▫ denote the maximum diameter among all subgraphs obtained by deleting ▫$q$▫ edges of ▫$G$▫. Let ▫${mathcal{D}}^V_p(G)$▫ denote the maximum diameter among all subgraphs obtained by deleting ▫$p$▫ vertices of ▫$G$▫. We prove that ▫${mathcal{D}}^E_a(G) leqslant {mathcal{D}}^V_a(G) + 1$▫ a for all meaningful ▫$a$▫. We also define mixed fault diameter ▫${mathcal{D}}^M_{(p,q)}(G)$▫, where ▫$p$▫ vertices and ▫$q$▫ edges are deleted at the same time. We prove that for ▫$0 < l leqslant a$▫, ▫${mathcal{D}}^E_a(G) leqslant {mathcal{D}}^M_{(a-ell,ell)}(G) leqslant {mathcal{D}}^V_a(G) + 1$▫, and give some examples
