In my (rather extensive) practice, multihoming by itself is usually a major source of connectivity problems.
in my meager and bottom-feeding scum-sucking practice, multi-homing decreased unreliability delivered to our customers by a factor of ten or more. this very moment i am sitting at a site which is single-homed to an anonymous NSP's major POP in a farming town in mid-Cal. i can not get to www.cisco.com from here. yet i can get to my home net, which is quite multi-homed, and get to cisco from there. so, as we say in my family, i smell cows.
It is _much_ better to multihome to the same provider who then can take care of messy global routing.
just what i always wanted, two connections to a broken provider. you must be kidding. randy
