[Bloat] Dual WAN home router with decent SQM?

[John D]

My scenario is upgrading from DSL (35/8mbps) to StarLink (150/15mbps) so I
really only need a failover - keep the DSL as it's cheap.

My question though is how quickly will failover occur? I work over RDP &
Teams all day and I'm unclear if failover should give me near seamless
service, or kicks in after things already stopped working.

(Ps: I'm unsure of etiquette on this list, should I reply all or reply back
to the list only every time)
