On the other hand, Seymour Cray who created several of the world's faster super computers had an interesting perspective -- and it worked!
Even if the computer is down from time to time what matters is the complete throughput.
While this would work for a computer, it doesn't with an Internet connection. Too bad you can't afford to have both -- cable and DSL.
I've always thought having two connections would be cool. There are routers now available that can use TWO Internet gateways (e.g. cable & DSL). This way you'd have back up plus load balancing. The cost, though, for a home really doesn't make sense.
