Having two circuits to a single provider doesn't help when that provider is broken. I'm not saying that multi-ISP BGP-based multi-homing is risk-free, but I don't see multi-circuit single-provider as a viable alternative. FWIW, I've had almost the exact opposite experience. Almost all of our connectivity problems have been circuit issues. Two T1s to the same ISP at one site has saved us from a lot of pain. OTOH, we also do have some ISP diversity, though we haven't needed it nearly as much as redundant circuits. YMMV. HAND. -- Crist J. Clark [email protected] Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387
