BGP may not be flexible enough to balance the incoming packets
between the lines in that case. e.g. in the case where the ISP with
the slower connection is a downstream customer of an ISP sourcing
a lot of traffic (localpref is more important than path length,
so it can be difficult or impossible to influence this).
But if the majority of traffic is outgoing, this may not be
particularly important.

That can work better for balancing load, but isn't so good for
failover. Most web browsers impose a minimum TTL to avoid certain
DNS hijacking tricks.
