We’re almost in 2024. I’ve been on the Internet since 91. Today’s telco/network equipment come with error reporting via alarms / data pushed to centralized tools that usually highlight issues. If your ISP is subpart and can’t fix it’s network, can’t you switch to another ISP?

Also, have you done your homework and positive the issue doesn’t come from any of your equipment? Why not open a ticket w/ the ISP with all the proof on hand? Are they aware?

If you’ve done all of that work, that they are aware and “sit & do nothing”, it’s fair to post the name of that ISP right here!

Main ISP is fiber, house is part of HOA that has cable internet included, so that is my failover.

Main is 2gbps symmetrical

Failover is 300 down, 10 up

The only time my network is down is when the power is out

100% up time obviously

Standard ISP and cradlepoint AER 3000 with Verizon and ATT back up

Unifi UDM PRO with a GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) 5G NR AX3000 Cellular Gateway Router for failover on the backup link. Separate providers for primary and backup. No MVNO.

I use an cheap EdgeRouterX to detect failover events then route all traffic out secondary WAN (Teltonika 4G) and I have a nice failover script where I get notified via pushover of the events.

One of those travel routers sharing the connection from my neighbors Xfinity Hotspot ($20/mnth) as my second uplink to my main fiber

Mikrotik do inexpensive routers and their RouterOS is wonderful.

It can even do connection-based load balancing over two connections, although I don’t have the mastery to set this up yet.

Fail over? Cry and smoke some weed until it comes back on.

😭

Cox Cable modem (metered) and Verizon LTE load balanced with my firewall appliance.

Firewalla. 🤷

A few days in the mountains

Go outside and do yardwork. Play with the dog. Read a book. Wait for the ISP to fix their shit.
