You'd need either a funky router that has support for a backup route, or
a firewall that checks the primary route every short_interval, and
switches to the backup route as necessary.

You should probably ask your primary ISP whats their recommended plan -
and also think about your service levels and budget.

As for your IP staying the same - that would only be possible if you
have your own, or you're using a static supplied by the ISP.
