That is certainly *a* point of differentiation, however if the goal of these "basement dual-homers" is to not suffer downtime due to the outage of a single provider(much like the organizations that "matter"), all the responsiveness in the world from a provider whose circuit to one of the "basement dual-homers" which has failed isn't going to prevent them from being down, is it?
