(Cheap?!?!?)

Maybe I'm not understanding completely.  Do you have any needs that require
you to have that level of HA?  Must you absolutely positively have 24/7/365
access with no interruption?  (If so, I think you need to leave Florida!
<g>)

Maybe I'm just extremely fortunate, but with our Charter Communications up
here in Saginaw, MI, I have not noticed any outages AT ALL for the past
three years or so.  We had a few hiccups at the start and a cable modem was
swapped out within the first six months, but since then we have experienced
no outages (except for when power was out, of course).  Not to say that
there haven't been *any* outages; obviously we're not on 24/7/365 (well,
with five users, including two teenagers, in the house, it seems we come
close, but...), but if there are any outages, they must be few in number and
short in duration.
