Hey, so my internet shat itself and has been offline for 6 hours, no mining for 6 hours... so was wondering what backup solutions you guys have in place to prevent this?

Is that a question or something you have in place as a backup to your fibre/adsl connection?

1) You haven't stated your existing connection, nor your secondary options, so advice on that front is limited
2) You haven't indicated whether you want auto-failover or are happy to switch things over manually.
3) You haven't stated the size of the operation. i.e. is it really worth it?

Given the lack of commitment to your opening post all I really had at that stage was: LTE Router because it's inexpensive and easy to setup manually when primary fails (providing primary isn't LTE - see point no. 1).

1) I'm not asking advice on my own setup, I'm a big boy and can make decisions myself
2) I don't have to give you all the information you require to give me advice on my setup
3) I was asking what YOU have in place as a backup
5) You should maybe re-read my original post if you are going to be an ass and reply like this
6) There is no 4
7) You just checked

Thanks for actually understanding simple English and answering with your own backup solution for when your primary internet fails. You made the rest of my Friday afternoon more pleasant.

OK you have a point. In answer to your question no fail over. Setup is just a single rig. Not worth the effort for me.

I enjoyed point no 6 & 7.
