Aggregating/Load Balancing Multiple DSL lines

[jeffystuit]

Has anyone here had any experience with combining multiple DSL lines with an aggregator/load balancer? We are considering this for our company as an alternative to getting a T1 line, but our telecommunications vendor is recommending against this, and I don't understand why. Are there any serious technical issues with aggregating DSL lines?

Thanks!

for you purposes, this should be a 'cheap' solution (there may be others, this is the one I found)

Mind you, if your provider is using a T1 (or aggregated T1's) to back haul the traffic, two DSLs may not be faster than one, but if he is on a T3 or faster, all ishould be well. I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Thank you! This is quite a bit cheaper than other devices of this type that I've looked at. I'm grateful you pointed it out.

Thanks again!

good, I was hoping to make it 'cheap enough to just try it out' I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
