  1. killingtheta - I believe a dual wan router w/ automatic failover is what you are looking for which will give you a seamless transition to another internet connection in the event one fails. like i said before they're on amzn for a few hundred.

    Agreed, Murphy's Law and all that, which is why I'm logged into my account on the laptop.

    Disagree with expensive, long-term UPS, for the same reason. Why take the chance that "this" outage is not static, that it takes out the network infrastructure between you and your broker after you put on another trade?

    You think you're getting through to their trade desk on the first call in that situation?
