| Multihoming costs a lot of money I have had a couple friends -- gamers, rather than network techs -- ask me how they could take advantage of their various household broadband connections (cable, DSL and ethernet-from-bredbandsbolaget.se) to increase their download speeds, handle upstream outages, and improve RTTs to selected targets. Admittedly their providers are unlikely to offer them "true multihoming" in the BGP + PI prefix sense, however I think it is an indication of demand in need of some supply. The supply is not horrifically expensive for at least one of the broadband providers, and the others could in principle constrain their _local_ costs enough that passing them down to my friends would not result in an unaffordable option. Is this a trend, or do I simply collect friends who are completely unreflective of reality? Is my estimation that for at least some broadband providers, per-household/per-customer BGP is a operational expense rather than one requring the capital purchase of new equipment, completely out-to-lunch (in advance of an interesting new product launch in the next few days)?
