To add to this, we have two different connections to the same ISP. We
definitely need BGP because we set the MED to influence how traffic returns
into our network. This gives us some measure of redundancy. Without BGP it
would not be as easily implemented.
The right tool for the job, I always say.

If a customer is homed to 2 different ISPs and wants redundancy, they really
need to run BGP.
