Twice this week my broadband has gone down - only for a couple of minutes. However as i work from home it takes me 15 mins or so before i can re-login to the VPN and continue working.
What broadband providers are providing broadband with 4g backup - where the router changes over to the 4G signal if the broadband goes down.

Vodafone's current VDSL router has a slot for a 4G modem, and I think it's an option when you sign up.
