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?
