Henry:
I 100% agree with the rational for what you are doing, however I wouldn't do
this on the Asterisk box.
I would look into a hardware appliance for this.
Something like a HotBrick LB-2 would work great for this and they are fairly
cheap as well.

Subject: [on-asterisk] Using Cable as a failover from DSL
We all are aware that the uptime of a single DSL or Cable connection to an
ITSP is less than that of analog lines or a T1 so I'm putting out the idea
of using DSL and Cable where the chances of both failing at the same time
are very low. In normal operation the DSL would handle Voice (Asterisk)
while
the cable would handle any data traffic.
So here's the plan (remember I'm not a network guy)
A cron job on the Asterisk server continually pings an external server
should the Ping take more than a two seconds then * IP address is change
to
share the Data network until service is resumed.
Is this a plan or am I just whistling "Dixie"
TTFN
Henry
