Be aware that provider A's diverse network for provider A's service is the same diverse network they'll use to connect you to provider B. As a result, many or most of the outages which impact provider A will also impact your connectivity to provider B, defeating the central purpose of having a provider B.
I'll just add to the OP: you want them independent *to you* not internally diverse between themselves. How would that help your site be independent? I'm sure the billing/support sounds attractive (and they get to upsell you), but you won't gain provider independence, only a larger bill. ~Seth
