[DSL] Bonded DSL

As far as I know, the bonded plans start at 12Mbps down and 2Mbps up. This means that each individual line must be able to support up to 6Mbps. I don't know the distance requirements off hand, but it should give you an idea of what to expect.

Your at the top you can go, I believe. I'm surprised your getting what you have with the line

reply to Xploit
You should be able to move to at least a 5meg connection with that noise margin and maybe a bonded at 10 but you will have to pay for the 12 to get the 10

8.5 kft

A friend of mine has worse line stats than these and he's god a solid 5mbps on an old 3-5mbps plan. His attenuation is like 51 and SNR is only around 10-12dB. The OP should be able to do bonded if he upgrades to the Max package. The 12/2 package is best used on lines that work on a solid 6mbps, but it will work on slower lines. Is Frontier willing to install a second line and give the OP a $200 bonded modem? I'm not sure. If they are willing to do this, the OP might be able to get around 6mbps or up to 8 or 9 if Frontier is willing to redo his provisioning.

Bonded DSL should be able to go out as far as both lines can handle a specific speed. It's just another DSL line to put it simply that has some bonding taking place at the higher layers.

I'd consider getting that upstream fixed a bit. The attenuation should be about half of the downstream. You should start to see better statistics once the problem is found and resolved, along with higher upload speeds.

Exactly. Unless Frontier installs VDSL, there is nothing to do at the CO except install a second wire pair for the customer. As far as the CO's equipment is concerned, the customer just has two phone lines. All the bonding takes place at the CPE.

I went ahead and contacted them, they said they do not have bonded DSL at my location at this time and that they can't provision my speeds any higher.

Actually, bonded DSL does have to have certain CO work. For instance, the cards in the CO or remote , would have to support ADSL+2 ; and ports need to be in sequence. I have recently provisioned single ports on ADSL+2 and not GMT that have worked at 19M/2 at 3kft loops. As long as the cable pairs are ground bonded correctly, with zero bridge taps, it works perfect. VDSL is common to bonded, but only uses one pair.

How are they setting up the new 25MB connections? They are just launching that in my neighborhood (ex VZ) and I'm about 5000ft away from the DSLAM. I think $69.99 or something is what they're asking.

reply to Xploit
Two 12 MB lines to your house bonded is how they are doing the 24 MB lines.

reply to acadiel
25mbit connections are VDSL. 24mbit is ADSL2+ bonding. That's why in some markets you get 3mbit upload (VDSL) and in other markets you get 2mbit (ADSL2+)
