Hi all, I am wondering if anyone here has done network interface bonding[1] using 2 x ADSL connections from the same provider?
This is for a location where only Bell ADSL is available, and only at 5Mbps. I am wondering if having 2 (or more) services at the same location is possible (I am calling Bell) and if it would effectively double (or at least increase) the bandwidth available when combined by bonding network interfaces on a router appliance dedicated to that. I am asking Bell if having 2 circuits at the same location would deliver separate "guaranteed" 5Mbps or if it would be shared anyways. I've heard about this same scenario used with different providers to ensure if one goes down service continues, but not with the same provider twice. The goal here is not high availability, just higher speeds. If anyone has other creative solutions to improve a link in such a situation, I am listening :) Cheers, F.
