This makes a lot of sense. I've been running 2 bonded DSL lines for some time now, giving me faster downloads/uploads along with an automatic fail safe. It has saved me a few times over the past year alone, and I don't think people who rely on the internet as a place of business can afford to skimp in this area.

During my time as a DSL engineer I daily met people who were really desperate to get the internet back on, I very often didn't have sympathy for them if they are daft enough to base their whole business around a £20 product with no SLA in place and with no backup. I decided I wasn't going to be one of those muppets.

The cost of internet access is stupidly cheap in my opinion. I pay one of my SPs, O2, £7.50 a month for ADSL 2+ line giving me 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up. My other SP is even cheaper, I think Sky are charging me about £5 a month!!!
