Hello!
It probably doesn't matter if the same provider is involved and in fact, different providers are preferred as that allows some limited multi-homing. Load balancing should be employed in any case. Simply declaring 2 default routes in Cisco IOS accomplishes that and I believe that something similar is available in the 2.4 networking.
Accomplishes that, but unless the two paths have very similar timing (which happens usually only if their load is minimal [which implies balancing is useless anyway] or if they are parallel links), route level load balancing leads to terribly bad results due to TCP being unable to cope with such a high variance of RTT's. Hence, per-connection balancing using DNS or redirects leads to much better results.
