I have 2 Road Running connections and I would like to load balance them. what's a good aggregator I can use?
 
Load balance out or Bond doesn't matter. As long as all the bandwidth is used.

They are equal speed
 
If I'm correct Load balancing would not get you faster download times. But it would give you better web performance. Download two files at full speed.

Bonded will give you almost twice the speed. But this is something the ISP has to setup.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

With load balancing, a Cisco device with something like RIP version 2 or EIGRP configured will load balance across 4 equal cost paths.
For bonded interfaces, that could be done in a Cisco device with PPP Multilink, but that must be configured on the provider side as well.
There is a difference between the two technologies. If you bonded them, but still wanted certain amout of bandwidth to be reserved for certain protocols (such as VoIP), then a bonded solution with QoS would work. It all depends on what you are trying to do...

Basically, this is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have 2 Road Running connections and hooked up to 2 pixes. What i wanted to do is to combine the 2 RR legs into one fat pipe (using a bandwidth aggregrator or what evers).

That's why I would like to see what is a good bandwidth aggregator for this solution

Thanks,
Thomson.
