As a note, you can get redundancy (but still none of the best-path 
advantages of having multiple transits) by asking your transits to 
originate default in their BGP feed and then selectively accepting it. 
You can either ECMP it or pick priority with localpref.

You need multiple full-view transits for this to work, though.
