So at home every few months cable can be less than reliable and manages to
go out right when I need it most. The local CLEC brought in a copper line
promised DSL and five months later came back "oops we can't support DSL for
your address". Any ideas on a "decent" backup solution? What I care about
most is a consistent connection. I have in the past used my cell phone as a
backup but the ping times can be up an down. When it comes to a cellular
connection how do I figure out which provider is going to have the lowest
latency in my area? I was thinking about satellite but the delay would kill
me on an SSH session. Any ideas?
