kudos:4 | speeds Will this take 4 1.5mbps DSL lines and turn it into one 6mbps pipe or is it simply load balancing? if the latter then *yawn* as dual wan routers have done this for years

In fact I thought of doing just that, except it turns out that I can't get DSL here after all. So much for that plan.
Maybe at my next apartment. |

In other words, if you are downloading a single file and have an ADSL line at 1.5Mbps and a cable connection at 6Mbps, you will not get 7.5Mbps. You will get the speed of the wan connection the router chose to use for that one particular file.
Apparently with this setup, you will get the 7.5Mbps for the download. |
