The moral is multihome. It gets real old hearing people whine that
they're losing $XXX,XXX.XX per hour, minute, whatever, when their internet
access fails...but they spend some tiny fraction (like 1% or a lot less)
of that per month on a single internet connection. If your business
depends on internet connectivity, and that much $ is at stake, you're
stupid if you don't have some redundancy. Nothing works all the time
forever.
