Alternative access to the Internet

Rationale

The normal Internet access is via a fiber connection which at present operates at 1 Gb/sec up and down. The connection has operated almost without flawlessly since I got it circa 2006.

But, but, but. There is always the chance that the fiber is cut, e.g. when somebody starts digging without having obtained proper information on what already may be buried in the ground (power cables, antenna cables, telephone cables , water piping, sewage piping, you name it)

So the idea arose of having another way of connecting to the internet in case the fiber connection for whatever reason stopped functioning. This note describes how this alternative Internet access way is constructed.

Physical Inplementation

Routing

DNS considerations
