Hi Dan, I think the bigger problem you will have is guaranteeing diversity between the two wholesale carriers (e.g. who are they actually using for core circuits / dark fibre). I am currently doing a similar exercise for one of our business customers - adding a backup fibre path to an existing solution. We got bitten a few years ago by a large fire on an industrial estate in Northampton that took out a Level3/GlobalCrossing POP where the some customer tails terminated.. unluckily the backup DSL paths via the O2 LLU network were also backhauled through the same POP :(
