Re: One /22 Two ISP no BGP

Pick your preferred link in, have them announce your /22, have the other
provider announce the /22, just weighed.  That way you are multi-homed with
failover.

After that is configured, find a new ISP to replace the one that will not
let you peer with them.

It is very possible that the ISP doesn't support BGP, but more likely,
I'd bet that the ISP has never configured BGP on the client end of their
network, and aren't too anxious to figure out how to do so.
