    Do you have more than one ISP?

    Just in case one ISP is on the blitz you can use the other ISP to connect to the internet?

    I hate being cut off even if it's for a few hours. Am I alone or is having two ISPs reasonable?

      No need for backup ISPs these days... So many open wireless networks

          I have 4Broadband ISPs in my house scattered across a few rooms
          It's a great idea if you have the NEED for it, or if your service is unreliable.

                                      What happens when they turn their router off? You going to call them up, "Hey, turn on the fuckin router, I'm trying to download some porn!"

                                                      I have a nextel 830 phone with a 56K wireless internet capability. Slow as shit but usable. I got it mainly for travel, but when the cable modem goes out I just plug the usb connector into my pc and instant 56K internet, I can stand it for a few hours.
                                                      I have no signature
