the biggest danger to the internet is not the backhoe but rather incompetence. a stupid upstream provider can screw _you_ up bad. (can you say route flap & damp?) finding six competent upstream providers would be astronomically improbable. focus your efforts. you'll be happier. our second biggest problem is the power outage (combine with #1 and you get providers who don't test their UPSs, &c.) rant off. -h : my biggest concerns would be the following: : 1) Fiber Cuts that take out your t1's : 2) Power Outages : 3) Router Failures
