piggy backing DSL?

[Possessed Freak]

Okay here is my idea...

using a 2.4 ghz network card + antenna x 4 to link up three computers in different houises, then get broadband on multiple houses.

Is there a way to chain the broadband connections together for better bandwidth?

I know you can set the gateway to either IP of the dsl box to spread the load, but I would like to get 2x the bandwidth if I am on it all alone.

I remember these analog modems that you could chain together on seperate phone lines...

use a load balancing protocol between the links using a router, like OSPF (spidey would love me for this) otherwise I don't really know if there is another way to aggregate the two DSL lines.

 

[Possessed Freak]

what is OSPF, do you have any useful links??

Thanks

As long as you aren't reselling the bandwidth that's probably alright.

How would they know whether you are reselling, spliting the cost, or just giving it away?

And why should they care? Loss of a potential customer?

That would be like the supermarket not selling oranges to the guy on the corner. As long as it is not a wide spread practice I don't think the telcos will try to stop it.

You're not going to be able to combine the bandwidth from all 3 dsl lines into one uber dsl line. Load balancing will distribute things equally over the entire network, but it won't give you 3 megabit transfers off 3 1megabit lines.

bigshooter - okay, kind of figured as much

no I am not going to be renting this out, think of it asthe only way I would ever pay for DSL in my area: split the cost with others

Hmm.. if 3 houses are having the DSL connection with each having it's own DSL line how does spreading the cost of getting it come into place?

Anyway, how about just getting one 1.5mbit SDSL line and sharing it with those 3 houses? That way you can even do throttling so that each house gets a limited throughput and such.

Or if it's available in your area, get the higher DSL line capacities (VDSL, HDSL?) that way you won't have to worry about aggregating several DSL lines into one.

GET THE NETOPIA DSL ROUTER IT HAS DSL BONDING ITS A SWEET ROUTER I HAVE THE R9100 ETHERNET ROUTER
