Please someone let me know how we can bundle the different line speed leased lines. We have 1M and 2M, and if we use multilink PPP, the throughput would remain as 2M, that is, the higher link seems to be in line with the lower speed link [sad] Is there any solution to this?
 
Well, if you use a static route for both lines with the same metric you will get one packet on each interface and as such you won't use the full potential of the connection, maybe you should use a routing protocol and then set the variance command, which makes it possible to have unequal load-balancing. I think it should be set for "variance 2"

Also check "show ip route" to check if you at all have two paths to the destination, according to the router.
