Hello Pluggers, Just wondering if any of you have worked with multi-homed setups before. At present we are looking to connect directly to the primary Ecuadorian backbone via CNT (the company that owns this stretch of fiber). I've been looking at options in case CNT suffers a failure and the only one I can think of is satellite, since all the other ISPs peer off this same backbone.
The problem is that a dedicated business grade 1MB/s satellite connection starts at $1,000 per mo and goes up from there (we are trying to get better pricing on 10 & 100MBs but it looks like it scales linearly). Since this is only intended as a fallback, it seems like a bit of an extravagance for something that is likely to be used no more than 10 or 12 days a year. It seems like there ought to be a provider somewhere that specializes in being the fallback option with a low monthly fee and then perhaps a high per diem or per MB fee when you actually need to use the service. Does anyone know of any companies that specialize in that sort of thing? Thanks! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
