Out of interest, just how much *is* the price premium to get
Comcast/Verizon to give you a small static range (e.g. /29)?
If I'm reading the diagram correctly, each net connection is connected
to a single pfSense box. If the pfSense box dies, so does access to that
net connection. To my mind, it would be better to do something like this:

(that's one I prepared a few years back, based on 3 DSL connections into
two pfSense routers, but you get the idea)
Of course, to do that you'd need at least a small range from each ISP -
a /29 should be sufficient.
You can then balance using gateway groups, or as others have suggested,
direct different traffic out via different ISPs (e.g. if your usage
allowance from ISP1 is low, you might want to send large transfers out
via ISP2).
Kind regards,
Chris
