BGP -- ADSL as failover link

Hi all,

Out of curiosity...

I have a 100Mb fibre Ethernet connection, and an ADSL connection to a
single provider via one router at my end.

Currently, said provider maintains an EIGRP setup between our router and
their own, so when the LANx connection goes down, our /21 is transits
over the ADSL connection.

In the very near future, we need to make some significant hardware
changes, which will likely include eliminating EIGRP entirely.

So:
-----------------------|
--------|ADSL |
UPSTREAM< | | <- our router
--------|LANx |
-----------------------|

Given the following BGP example config, will it impact my upstream any
differently than a current EIGRP setup would?

My main question however, is, again, given the following config, would
having an ADSL connection as a redundant feed be a bad thing? If my
Fibre goes down, and given the BGP config that I have, the route won't
flap anywhere upstream from my upstream...right?

Perhaps I could have posted this to NANOG, however I thought this was
but just a humble 'small guy' question.

PS: I am looking for help, therefore I will not try to be obscure in any
way. This is the config that I came up with, and it works very well in
my lab. There are many people that deserve thanks for aiding my
knowledge on BGP, so thank you. I have much to learn, so scrutiny is
MOST welcome.

TIA,

Steve
