Hello Tim, a lot of our customers need a very stable Internet access got their portable address space and their AS number from us (we are a LIR) and connected to 2 or even more upstreams.
Sure, some of broadband ISPs didn't provide BGP for their clients, but there are companies providing BGP over L2TP or GRE. So all the solution costs ~$1000 one-time fee (PI/AS, BGP router like Cisco or Quagga box, a bit consulting). Good advice is to diverse upstreams by the media, i.e. CaTV+DSL+Fiber+Radio, so if fiber to the house is cut - radio still working. It is possible to integrate that to a complete service - i.e. install a box that connects to 2-3 ISPs and "just works", but we haven't requests to to that. Please, contact me off-list if somebody interesting in it. Tim Utschig wrote: > [Please reply off-list.
