> You'll need an ISP that does actual business networking things, probably. I doubt Xfinity home service would do it for you.
It would be nice if someone made a wiki somewhere of which ISP's worldwide will do this on which plans.
I'd really like to have two ISP's and BGP peer with both, so that if one goes down all my systems keep the same IP address and maintain connectivity.
The whole idea of everyone having just one connection in a fragile tree-like structure seems against the original design goals of the internet.

More or less all of them with a business tier of service will do this.

The smallest subnet that is going to get advertised outside of your ISP (outside of the ASN you're in) is a /24, you can't have multiple ISPs and get that kind of address space for your personal stuff.
The design goals of the Internet you're referring to are about networks not going offline, a global routing table with individual entries for every user is not sustainable.
