My company is a pharmaceutical company that also is pushing for a large
scale e-commerce presence.
To my understanding the reason for running BGP on our side is because of the
2 pipes that we will have which will be running over the same carrier, but
the carrier has informed us that because we are going to different POPS we
would have to run partial BGP routes. This does not seem right to me. The
deal is not finalized and im really pushing to go to 2 different ISP'S. For
REAL redundancy. But as always if we get the so called "redundancy" thought
there network then it will be cheaper then going with the 2 different ISP's.
If we went with the 2 diff ISP's what kind of things would we be looking at?
Buying our own AS, and getting independent IP space but besides that any
caveats?

What type of businees does your company do?
Is there a reason to run BGP despite connecting to only 1 ISP?
Unless you are a transit AS or something similar, you can route all of your
internet traffic via static routes.
