Why Sunday streams are so fragile
Shared circuits and changing upload conditions make Sunday broadcasts fragile. A standard live feed has no safety window when the connection drops.
What backup internet actually solves
A second connection lowers the chance of a complete outage. Failover can still take time, and partial failures can still interrupt a stream.
Why resilient streaming is the second layer
Backup internet lowers the odds of failure. Beam Networks Stream lowers the impact by backfilling missing video after the network returns.
The practical recommendation
Use both layers when the broadcast matters: a backup connection to reduce risk and a recoverable stream to reduce interruption.
Make the next Sunday stream more forgiving.
Add a recovery path for the connection drops a backup ISP cannot hide.
