Also depends on what their expectations of the 'backup' are. Are they
backing up a 100mb DIA circuit and want similar capacity? If so, your
cost needs to be more to have extra available capacity if they need it.
If you're just a backup to a DSL Line, then price it slightly below one
of your normal connections and monitor it for usage to make sure it
really is a backup.

Charge a normal rate, maybe a bit less to compete. Imagine if you make
it cheap and they use you primarily all day.

Does anyone here market a specific “backup connection” to small
businesses (non-BGP)? Here, Comcast has a strong foothold on
business connections, but they go down occasionally (like anyone
else would), so there is an opportunity there. With Cloud based
solutions, VoIP solutions, redundancy for a business would make
sense.
So the questions would be, what do you charge relative to your
normal rate for a backup (failover) connection only?
