How to bond two dsl lines - one internet connection

[mroler]

We are in a black hole as far as internet connections go the best we can get is 3mb down 700 kb up. Is there a device where two or more dsl lines can be bonded like the old pri isdn lines? Any help would greatly appreciated.

You need a load balancing router with two WAN inputs.

You've never set one up, have you?

For instance, using a Netgear Prosafe firewall you can use 2 seperate lines. The best you can hope for is load balancing (eg: smtp on one, web on another) or failover. You cannot "shotgun" the 2 lines.

A sonicwall will give you similar functionality.

You cannot "bond" the 2 lines in the manner you are eluding to.

True, you cannot actually bond two ADSL lines, but what most people really want is to automatically use both lines, and a load balancing router will do that seamlessly. . .

Check www.viprinet.com. Bonding of up to 6 DSL lines. You can even stack the routers.

Bonding requires a special setup on the ISP's end also. Most ISP's will not do this unless you have a business account and it can be expensive. Without your ISP's cooperation, the best you can hope for is load balancing.
