Re: Dual-Wan router? said by tiger72:Why not just get these connections separately and use a dual-wan router on the client side? What's the point of a middle-man? As was said above
"A multi-link tunnel should max you out at nearly the sum total of bandwidth for all tunneled links."
This (probably) isn't priced/intended for residental use.
It is a way to increase MAXIMUM single app (or shared apps)
to a location that dedicated line servece is either unavailable (rare, if you have $$$) or impractical (due to cost or installation timeline).
it's a short term patch until other technologies (DOCSIS 3 for cable/vDSL or fiber for telcos) allow similar service over a single line.
It does allow some redundancy (i'e' 2 telco and 2 cable modems) with failover, but ignores the big weakness of last mile conection.....if all the connections go to the same pole/vault/ RoW and "something" happens (car hits pole/backhoe breaks conduits and enclosed fiber/wiring, etc.) you lose service. |

kudos:1 | If this is a tunnel as advertised, then you're limited now by the sharedband throughput. I have to imagine that his has *extremely* limited uses for businesses or residences. |
