Re: Verizon FiOS - is BGP an option?

[Alain Hebert <ahebert () pubnix net>]

    Hi,

    Yes the easier way to do it is have your subnet routed to someone 
that is willing to colo your router, or provide your with something like 
NHRP, and use a 87x on your brand new unnamed Cable/DSL provider to 
create a NHRP tunnel for it.

    We have many customers which required that kind of tunnel to bypass 
some belligerent TelCo.

    But if you're going to drop your T1 for Cable/DSL get 2 of them 
using different technology and from different provider (aka 1 Cable and 
1 DSL =D).

    Have fun.
