Using WISP as ISP for business - backup ISP options?

[straatvark]

Hi,

I currently use a WISP to work from home in Durbanville. Overall I'm actually very impressed with them and would like to keep using them.

I'm very dependant for stable high speed. I can handle downtown to a certain level, but long, multi-day variations like I'm having now is problematic.

Any recommendation of other people in the same scenario on making use of a second ISP option that can sit dormant for minimal (or none) cost and that can be switch on at short notice?

One option would be ADSL/Telkom, but I think that need to be a monthly contract and the Telkom ADSL checker indicate that my speed would be worse than my WISP. So I would be hesitant to make that my main ISP.

Any recommendation? Would be much appreciated.

Cape Connect. Very impressed with them as well as bandwidth/speed I usually get.

Maybe give Amobia a try? The longest outage I've experienced was probably 2 maybe 3 hours...

And Amobia's prices are a lot cheaper as well.
