Are there hardware solutions for 2 ISP Connections?

Cisco rulz

Linksys routers are from Cisco if I'm not mistaken

Cisco needed a lower end selection of devices so bought out this company.

Surely CISCO stuff are excellent, but its quite expensive too - too expensive for most home users...

There are things that you can do on a Cisco that you just CANNOT do on other devices.

I can have multiple PVC's ( not just 8/35 )
I can have multiple PPPoE connections on each PVC
I can run multiple ISP's using the multiple seperate PPPoE connections.

Then there are all the other things like Logging / Debugging -- VLAN's VPN's Firewalls QoS etc etc

As they say in the classics -- "you get what you pay for"

Look for the bargains -- they DO exist.

Yeah, as a Cisco guru I could probably also achieve the same end result using Linux or BSD. You are paying for brand, I'm not denying that IOS is great/common but it's definetely not the be all and end all of networking.

You strike me as someone that recently got indoctrinated to the Cisco religion
