What's your network failover solution ? (alien.top)

I guess my ISP uses some subpar hardware because the connection keeps dropping at peak hours. I want to implement a failover system without having to buy some expensive router which I would not be able to justify with my normal usage.

Wanted to know some other ways how people do it .

We're almost in 2024. I've been on the Internet since 91. Today's telco/network equipment come with error reporting via alarms / data pushed to centralized tools that usually highlight issues. If your ISP is subpart and can't fix it's network, can't you switch to another ISP?

Also, have you done your homework and positive the issue doesn't come from any of your equipment? Why not open a ticket w/ the ISP with all the proof on hand? Are they aware?

If you've done all of that work, that they are aware and "sit & do nothing", it's fair to post the name of that ISP right here!
