2xds3 as a minimum, that seems a bit steep. I personally would have no problem with someone going with frac ds1 with 2 different providers in order to protect themselves from one provider's hardware, circuit, or routing failure. Sometimes people for security or ease of physical access reasons want hardware at their premises. Brian "Sonic" Whalen Success = Preparation + Opportunity On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Simon Lyall wrote:

I would sincerely like to know why not 2xDS1 multi-homed.
A quick scan through the customer database shows customers on 2*256 links (approx) and there might be smaller ones. I wouldn't be surprised to see multihomed people with 64k or smaller links.
Please remember that that bandwidth costs a lot more in most countries than it does in the US.
