Re: Handling Site Outages

It's cheaper to collocate in a data center that does offer BGP, since

they

already have fiber diversity and are multihomed upstream.  


Without a doubt. However, to meet Jon's request of what happens when the
physical site goes down a single provider -- even with multiple upstream
paths -- won't help. You'd need to establish yourself as your own AS
(Autonomous System) and have servers in two datacenters. Then broadcast
your AS path from each of those datacenters.
