Now that I've got a decent DSL provider, I've found that the least reliable
component of my Net access is the power line: my DSL just works, but the power
company has been flaking out 2-3 times a week for the past month or so.  (I
have my computers on UPSes, but your average K-Mart Box user wouldn't.)
Multihoming wouldn't solve that.
