Re: Dual DSL Lines You can keep CenturyLink as the DSL provider, but change the ISP portion of the connection to one that supports MLPPP.
This is what I do with my two DSL lines. |

| Doesn't CenturyLink support that with Business accounts? I know Qwest used to do that here on even residential lines, as back in 2009 i had two 5/896 lines paired together for 10/1.6 and Qwest was more than happy to let me use the same PPoE login on each Q100. |

Wouldn't this be the equivalent of paying for 4 lines? Paying everything for CTL then adding the ISP on top of it. Or would this work like it used to with ISPs like DSL Extreme and how TekSavvy operates in where I'd cancel my lines with CTL and order directly from the ISP and let them fire back up the lines with CTL? Also whom would provide MLPPP bonding over the CTL lines?

I think former Qwest areas are more prone to allow bonding than former GTE areas. I spoke with business CS before I ordered the second line and they said bonding was unavailable and the max connection I could get on DSL before going to a dedicated solution was 10 MB.

Yep, it would be like Teksavvy DSL, as the phone lines are the Bell companies in Canada, but the internet connection is controlled by Teksavvy. But you'd have two DSL lines.
Teksavvy offers MLPPP over many DSL lines too.
Your use a router that offer MLPPP, I use pfsense, but another option is a router from Mikrotik. ( »routerboard.com/RB750UP )

The ISP has the support MLPPP, CenturyLink doesn't need to know it is even being used. |

Currently in my one year contract with my first line for the promo price so that's out of the picture, at least for now.
I'm not even sure where to look for an ISP that would offer service over CTL lines as it seems like it's region/state based. What I have now isn't perfect but it actually works for me, might re-evaluate it later. With a download manager other than streaming services it's pretty much like one pipe anyway.
