But if I have a backup Internet, I have no excuse to be to not work during an ISP provided break time!
Agreed. Can we have this article taken off the internet? I don’t want it accessible from any of my connections.
Setting up a dual wan edge device with fail-over isn’t difficult, it’s the paying for two ISPs part that most people don’t want to do.
I have a much better plan for when my internet stops working… I stop working.
When my employer reimburses me fully, I will pay for two connections. But they don’t, even though they (could) save a ton of money by closing the office.
I can only remember one 45 minute outage caused by Comcast in 4 years at my house, before that I can’t even remember one. The rest of the time it’s been storms/power - things that would knock out other wireline providers. People shit on Comcast, but it’s plenty reliable these days. I’ll just use my phone’s hotspot and save the $4800 over 4 years.
Does anyone else use a Linux firewall to manage dual connections? I run Shorewall here, but I haven’t really had much luck with traffic shaping to keep the majority of traffic on my primary connection while allowing low-speed info like email to split up between connections.
It’s good that you post the archive link too. But you should primarily post the original. You can add the archive link to the description.
Nahh just stop working, not worth the huge cost of having an extra.
