Used to be on FIOS so I had matched up / down of 75.

FIOS sold out to Frontier here and the service went to ****.

Had to switch to the local provider Grande.

Download is great but they do not offer upload higher than 20.

I'd take less down for equal up any day but end of day reliability is the critical decider.

I'll look at FIOS again in 6 months to a year.

If they got their poo together I'll go back.

How about two cables services at the same address and bonding them together? My router will do this...

I have a 50/10 cox business connection to get 5 fixed ip addresses...

Would like to have faster upload speeds.

In a pinch I've been able to get away with hotspotting my cell. Have unlimited high speed tethering on my plan. As long as the downtime is just a coupla few hours I can get by.

Thought about just keeping the broadband portion of FIOS along with Grande for redundancy.

The combined cost was approaching a dedicated IP at that point which was attractive as I could bring a bunch of offsite production stuff in house and save some sheckles.

But then I need to invest in better long term backup power infrastructure and stock duplicate hardware or at least a stockpile of hard drives and PSU's.

But I'm still back to one pipe which currently with FIOS is not reliable.

I could just keep off site mirrors running in case of a dropped pipe or power but then why bother bringing anything in house which negates the need for dedicated IP so why even bother with redundant pipes.

Sometimes the slippery slope gets you back to the top of the hill.

You know I can help you with the backup power infrastructure. And if you buy a few solar panels with it, 30% tax credit PLUS accelerated depreciation.

I'd actually looked into it once before.

I was told my budget would get me 4 three legged gerbils, a wheel, and a weeks worth of food.

No warranty whatsoever but they did say they would ship mating pairs which when you think about it was just as good.
