I think that adding another broadband connection is unnecessary at home, but
I don't know if you're at home or at work. For work, just leave the one
connected, and should that fail, unplug that and plug in the other. I
would think that if you put the two broadbands on a switch and plugged the
switch into the router's uplink that it would use both, but I've never
played around with that. If you use the "manually switch connections if
one fails" idea, you wouldn't need two firewalls...
