This however, does not mean though that multiple uplinks to more than one provider gives you more security than mulitple uplinks to one.
I completely disagree with you.
So do I (at least in this little part of the thread, which I haven't had the opportunity to follow at all length). For example, a provider-wide routing (or performance, or whatever) problem would be your problem if homed only to that one provider.
Multiple links may have failure modes in addition to and identical to some of the failure modes of a single connection, but multiple links also removes a complete calls of failure modes associated with a single connection.
This is a pretty fundemental tenet of communications systems in general as is not limited to IP.
