I used to think that, but anymore, unless they can stream video, the internet is down. Businesses are different, but residential, if they're only partially working, they're 'down' according to the customer.

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.

Kinda sounds like the residential guy with a $44.95/mo lowest speed plan complaining he's losing millions on his eBay auctions. 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

        somewhere gets cut.  Several counties got disconnected. Now

        of kids didn't get to sell.  Can you believe this shit?  Of

        because we're on-site we get the blame.
