      I have one for my cable and dsl in our office, not the same brand but similar. We do use it for upload but i dont see a major difference in the speed

          have you ever lost a link?. i'm curious how it handles that without monster lag. Major packet rewriting going on in a box like that.. very cool tho.

              They don't bind the connections. You could have two computers doing 50k uploads though.

                  ok i thought they binded the connections so i could get faster uploads, was thinking having 4 dsl connections would be sweet

                              You could have two uploads going on the same computer using both wans though. Just can't have both connections used for the same upload.

                              It's unfortuante the technology hasn't hit the home user market yet. 4 DSl bound together would be awesome

                                  You can bind both connections but not with any of that shit.

                                  I run 2x 3.0Mbit DSLS with an upload speed of 80KB/sec per DSL. When i upload i get about 150-160KB/sec but not by using any multi broadband DSL modem/router.

                                  You have two options
                                  1) Unix machine - $200
                                  2) Cisco 18xx series router with a multiport nic card - $2000

                                      This is how the WAN routers work for the most part. I had a chance to play with a few different 2 wan port routers.


                                      you cannot aggregate multiple lines with them. What happens is that if you start uploading then the upload will go out DSL-A and if you open another upload it'll go out DSL-B (most times) but never will the same upload go out both DSLS.

                                      If one of the DSLs fail then the WAN modem fails to the other DSL line until the other comes back up and which point it'll do what i said above. Alternately you can run off one DSL and use the other just as backup.

                                      If you want to bond/bind/aggregate your incoming traffic then you'll need to work with your ISP on that (which most large guys wont bother to do).

                                          I figured it was some sort of scheduled load balancer, be cool if you could get an asn number and do true bgp4 on a dsl links.
