Choosing a business ISP failover plan

Cable + LTE/5G failover patterns that keep payments and cloud apps online when the primary circuit dies.

By Michael NarehoodNetworking

One circuit is a single point of failure with a monthly invoice.

Practical failover

  • Diverse paths (fiber + fixed wireless / LTE) beat two circuits on the same pole when you can get them
  • Automatic failover on the firewall beats manual cable swapping
  • Know which apps break on high-latency LTE (VoIP, large sync)

Test it

Fail the primary on purpose during a quiet hour. Surprises belong in drills, not during payroll.
