I've been working at a smaller ISP (~4000 subs, plus businesses), and not
one has asked me if I'm multi-homed.

When we or our upstream provider have a problem the telephones light up and
people act as if it's a problem, but the reality is that they're not
communicating it, up front, as a business requirement.

Almost ALL?

Any company, or any person for that matter, that relies on their  
Internet connectivity for their lively hood should be multihomed.
