I fail to see how this helps reliability in the case of ISP "routing instability" I believe that last year one large ISP lost almost all of its Bay Area connectivity and had a network meltdown due to "routing instabilities" (whatever that means).
multi-homing may not help much if the [X] ISPs you're connected to get their connectivity from the same NSP and that NSP has issues (as you noted below) ...
If you are running a mission critical network, I think you have no choice to be multi-homed to at least two ISPS preferably not residing on the same conduit that they both lease from the same transport network.
as opposed to those of us multi-homing our mp3 file servers for maximum reliability ... ;)
