80/20 not fast enough? try bonding

Quite pleased with this result..

I'm maxing out around the 140MB/s mark with my bonded connection.

~150 meters from the cab, using a Mikrotik RB751G-2HnD

Nice - your upload is faster than my download speed

My speeds took a jump (For the better) this morning 16 days after upgrading to 80/20 but nothing like that!

I thought bonded FTTC was 200/60Mbps ... still falling short of the advertised speed there!

Still that is impressive.

In reply to a post by 5km:

on a 80/20 service and bonded with 2 lines is 160/40, it ain't rocket science

Meh! I was just referring to the advertised speeds. Looking at this again that is for 3 lines bonded. Can't understand why that isn't advertised at 240/60Mbps.

I'd guess your guaranteeing yourself some crosstalk if 3 lines come all the way into the same property and are used simultaneously.

I'm not with Fluidata so have no idea where they get 200/60 from but checking the webpage it says "up to" so is actually pretty meaningless and doesn't mention how many circuits are being combined.

My lines only sync at around 60/20 because of the cabinet distance and there's also an overhead to the multilink protocol, overall I'm quite pleased, the upload speed has made our offsite backup run a lot faster.

@tuff I'm also using a MikroTik router, the 450G, it has the 680mhz cpu which can be overclocked to 800mhz, current CPU stats are: Max: 59%; Average: 4%; Current: 1%

@kris My modems are unlocked and I've not noticed crosstalk effecting the sync speeds or SNR margin.

I was going to try bonding with IDNet, bought that router but the configuration of it looked an absolute nightmare. Decided against it

Can you tell us a bit more?

Who with, how much is this costing? do they host a device for you the other end? Is it properly bonded in as much as a single stream can consume both links? (Speedtest.net is multithreaded so unfair) One set of IPs?

I already have two lines but I load balance at present and it is a royal pain..

Thanks!

I'm with Goscomb Technolgies (it says on the speedtest image) which is L2TP via Entanet.

I have 4 FTTC circuits, 3 bonded and 1 backup (BGP failover). I pay about the same as Zen/IDNet/ADSL24 equivalent products (500gb per line so 2TB a month overall).

It's Multilink PPP to their Cisco LNS so properly bonded both downstream and upstream.

Hope that answers your questions.

Ah sorry I assumed they were just the carrier. Thanks for the info

Its clearly priced for business! Making A&A looking reasonable...

Good news on the mlppp, the best solution all round.

I'm with ADSL24 and using 2 x 80/20 bonded connections with mlppp. 1 IP etc.

I use ADSL24 for my line rental too.

I'm very pleased with the service.

I'm there first and afaik to date only bonded customer, been bonded with the 40/10 service for over a year previously. Unlike some other ISP's I ain't paid any extra charge for bonded per month.

I'm maxing the lines out at around 135-140MB/s and when you consider I was paying more to BE for a bonded ADSL2+ service with 12MB/s it's a no brainer.

The "current speed test" in your sig isn't very impressive
