Too often, "separate" paths aren't. And, after being told things like "I can't loop your smart jack, so your CSU/DSU is configured incorrectly", this basement dual-homer questions the local ILEC's ability to provision over totally separate loops. Speaking for myself, basement dual-homers want: * Physically separate paths * Politically disparate networks * Complementary IP routes. in no particular order. Perhaps the answer is to request two totally different paths from a provider, then rinse and repeat with a second upstream?
