Even a low bandwidth cripple route is better than no alternate route.  
I wonder how easy it would be to set up a traffic shaper that would block all 
streaming when you were on your alternate low BW backup?  Just let email and 
web traffic flow.

It kind of does, doesn't it.  There aren't that many choices in rural America, 
choices have to be existent in order to get chosen.  And they have to be 
affordable and not in the realm of unaffordobtanium.

  If the uptime is worth it, you need redundancy.  Fiber has problems.  
Wireless has problems.  Electronics and software have problems.

        5 minutes before the auction starts for the 4H club, the fiber backhaul 
        somewhere gets cut.  Several counties got disconnected. Now a whole lot 
        of kids didn't get to sell.  Can you believe this shit?  Of course 
        because we're on-site we get the blame.
