new bb connection
Posted by anexperience on February 21st, 2005


Hi, I' after a new adsl connection (first time customer) which will be used
mainly for uploading, If I get one of these cheaper capped acounts do they
limit uploads as well as downloads, the download speed is not an issue.
Secondly is it possible to join 2 broadband connections together to increase
speed

A cap is a cap on total traffic, uploads + downloads = total

In theory yes, in practice it would require special equipment at your ISP,
BT exchange and your place.
With 8Mbs soon to be widely available, it wouldn't make any sense either.

Andrews and Arnald let you bond upstream in a different way (Spoofing the
IP of one line for packets sent up the other), which may or may not work
with other ISPs (I suspect not now as AAISPs way was broken by BT IIRC -
but I think they worked round it). You need an expensive box from them
- or a good knowlage of Linux.
