Use SLAAC, allocate prefixes from both providers. If you

I agree this works, but I assume that we would not consider
this a consumer level solution (requires an administrator to
make it work). It also assumes the local network policy
allows for auto-addressing vs. requirement for DHCP.
It shouldn’t require an administrator if there’s just one
router. If there are two routers, I’d say we’re beyond the
average consumer.
In the consumer world (Where a consumer has no idea who we are,
what IP is and the Internet is a wireless thing they attach to).
I am only considering one router (consumer level stuff). Here is
my example:
- Mr/Ms/Ze. Smith is a consumer (lawyer) wants to work from home
and buy a local cable service and/or DSL service, and/or xPON service
Isn't the easier (and cheaper) thing to do here is just use a VPN
to get behind the corpro firewall? Or as is probably happening
more and more there is no corpro network at all since everything
is outsourced on the net for smaller companies like your law firm.
For shops with IT departments, sure that can make sense. For many
mom/pop setups, maybe less likely. The challenge for us (in this
industry) is that we need to address not just the top use cases, but
the long tail as well (especially in this new climate of more WFH).
The last startup I worked for a customer wanted audit info on our
corporate network. We didn't have one. We just used various cloud based
services to get our jobs done and rented cloud based vm's for the
customer facing services. I would imagine that a mom/pop setup would do
the same thing these days. Having a corpro network in the small probably
doesn't make much sense anymore let alone the fancy multihoming
scenarios to access it. There are security implications with all of
this, of course, but that's probably the path of least resistance.
