I have two ISPs. I didn't plan on getting two ISPs. I've had one for ages that I'm reasonably happy with that I've shopped long and hard for. It gives me a static IP and doesn't charge too much. It has a 1Mbps down and 370Kbps up.

Then my son wanted to vastly upgrade our connectivity and our existing link just couldn't fill the bill. So we got another. His link is 30Mbps down and 3Mbps up. I want some of that. But I don't want to disrupt the existing services on my static IP and the original link.

My routing table looks like this now.
