If my primary connection is down, I switch to my backup. At one
office we have both Comcast cable and Verizon FiOS so if one is out,
we just switch to the other. It's possible, but no cases so far where
both were unavailable. At home I have FiOS, and if it's down I switch
to a MiFi cellular hotspot (slow as balls compared to fiber, but it
lets me do what I need to do in a pinch).
