Home > ADSL & SDSL Services > Bonded ADSL Unmanaged

MLPPP Internet access has been used for a long time. It was mainly used to channel bond multiple ISDN circuits to achieve greater throughput. However we have adapted this technology and made it operate simillarly for ADSL and SDSL. ADSL / SDSL Lines are cheap compared with leased lines. By bonding these low cost circuits it gives customers an cost effective alternative to leased lines.

Please also see our managed bonded ADSL pages here

We have three main operating modes.

- MLPPP (Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol) see wiki

- Per Packet Load Balancing (Cisco Hardware only, works well with unstable lines 5km +)

- Per Session Load Balancing (one connection can only achieve max speed of one line, ideal for multi-user systems)

Another advantage of bonding multiple lines together is to achieve redundancy. If one of the lines fails, due to many affecting factors (DSLAM line card, copper fault) the circuit will still operate, but with a reduced throughput.
