 Me> What is the cheapest way to have internet redundancy at home? 

Well down here, I have a "router" with a SIM card.

When my internet (broadband) disappears, the router actives the mobile SIM and
gives me data over the mobile network. While slower, at least I'm still online.

Its worked for me once already, I've only had it for about 2 months, and about
a month ago, my Internet went offline (they are upgrading my area), and about 3
 mins later the mobile kicked in. Interestingly the mobile data network is IPv6
 only with NAT64, so I could get to everthing, but I've got nothing setup for
IPv6 on my side, so no incoming connections. (Hopefully that will change from
tomorrow, when I'm finally connected to this new network and should have an
IPv6 address to start moving stuff over to.)
