My cheap ADSL has got fallback routing built-in, why pay an external service? On loss of service, it redirects to a secondary ISDN router.



Because unless your ISP has explicit support for things like that you will end up with a different IP address and routing. If you want seemless ISDN fallback then your ISP has to support routing your ADSL IP address to your ISDN connection when you dial in.

Only a subset of the more clued up ISPs do this (and most of them only on their more expensive business oriented accounts). Very few cheap routers nowadays have builtin fallback.

By the way, what external service were you talking about ? When I said "250 quid install, the 40 quid a month rental" that was purely for the ISDN line, not for anything else.
