Now that the broadband is very reliable, why would anyone use more than one WAN at home. What are the benefits you have seen or desired in multiple dhcp wan at home.
"Very reliable" depends on your provider, your definition of reliable, and even more, your tolerance for downtime. My tolerance for downtime is 0. I work a significant amount out of my home office, largely on servers, routers, firewalls, switches, etc. in remote locations where I must have an Internet connection. My primary 15 Mb cable connection is down around 4 hours a month on average, and once a year or so for 48+ hours straight or longer.
While that's no big deal for your typical residence, it's critical for me and *always* happens to me at the worst times. When you have clients that rely on you being accessible to assist any time, the money spent on the backup DSL connection is well worth it and a relatively insignificant cost. When I'm doing something critical after hours, I don't want to be stuck driving into the office or elsewhere with a working Internet connection at 3 AM to finish the job.
