Hello Stas,

How is the physical setup? Having two providers to avois loss of connection
when a vable is cut does not work if the risk of cutting both cables in the
same operation is substantial. Here the various cables are usually laid close
together for easier access. But that increases the risk of cutting more than
one when something goes wrong.

Technically I have access to three physical media. The old pair of wires
originally meant for POTS, the coax cable originally meant for TV distribution
and the new glass fibre meant for high speed digital communication.

DSL is still avaialable over the old POTS wires but thets have not been used
for the last 20 years and probably will never be used again. Some day, the
owner may decide to remove the cables to recover the copper,

I forgot 5G. There is a provider that offers re;letively chaep internet access
via 5G. but they are IPv4 only for now, so no deal, ;-)


Cheers, Michiel
