It’s been pounded into our heads for decades: you must have a solid backup of your data. What’s becoming clear is that having a backup for your Internet service is just as critical.
At CloudWyze, we refer to this less as “backup” and more as “redundancy,” but whatever name you give it, you’ll find that the more critical your access to the Internet, the more you should consider having not just one but two ISPs.
