If you were going to make your internet redundant, how would you set it up to keep costs as low as possible?
Main internet: Local ISP
Secondary:
Starlink?
5G data provider?
Another local ISP if possible (monopoly)?
Starlink seems too expensive.
Using mobile data provider seems reasonable.
If you are blessed to have multiple ISPs available in your area, their infrastructure (cables) probably run right along main ISP? So risk of their service failing as well.

over here a region of earthquakes; energy goes down but ISP stays up whilst data carriers get totally rekt. which ever setup backup stored energy is a must...
lately noticing meshtastic or any other radio scheme is also a handful must.
I’d prefer my main connection as fiber or traditional copper connection with a wireless option as a secondary.
Most physical cabling run back to the same infrastructure backbone so you don’t get much redundancy there even if they are different ISP.
Masmovil in Spain are linked to three 5g data networks, so pretty much guaranteed coverage anywhere. 10€ a month 50gb, 25€/100GB pay as you go. WiFi and contracts obsolete for now.
That would be ideal to have one provider with access to all networks. Here in the US each cell network offers their own "home internet" as far as I know.
