Only people who single-home to L3 or Cogent have disconnectivity.Take-away: Do not single home. I'm shocked folks aren't figuring this out. If you are a webhoster or enterprise and your business model can not support multiple Internet pipes, than you have a suboptimal business model (to put it lightly)
disagree. i know networks who multihome to avoid this kind of problem but introduce new problems with greater risk because they are unable to run bgp properly (be it from inadequate hardware, bad config, bad administration) my rule would be if your provider can manage an autonomous system better than you and multihoming isnt a requirement of your business then let them take on the management Steve
