Connectify Dispatch Pro Software For Fastest Speed

If u have more than 2 lines of FTTC or have both mixed 1 x FTTC and 1 x Cable as this software called Connectify Dispatch Pro will make your broadband speed go faster.

My plusnet speed before: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3667155024

My plusnet speed after: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3667157288

What total RUBBISH.

No, it does work! I checked downloading transfer rate in real time, it does work!

It's bonding connections via an aggregation server. Whilst not a true connection to a single ISP. It does indeed work.

I know exactly what it is doing ... and it certainly NOT making his connections faster.

He never said he would make his connection faster.

So, one connection at 100Mbps, another at 78Mbps - split the load across them and you amazingly get 178Mbps. YOU explain how it is faster.

OP said "Broadband speed go faster". If this is referring to the throughput that you can get on 2 separate lines paired together when comparing performance with and without this solution then I would suggest the OP is probably correct (no experience myself but others seem to agree that it can improve overall speeds).

Don't believe the OP said it was making the connections faster as of course a software solution outside of the network could not do that. It can though make better use of the connections by some clever trickery around load balancing.

EDIT : after seeing you latest post, no it wouldn't make 178Mbps go faster than 178Mbps. However, by load blaancing correcting you may be able to more effectively use the bandwidth so without any solution you might only make use of (for arguments sake) 120Mbps but with the solution could increase to 150Mbps (hypothetical examples).

Correct, the program does not make the connections faster but it pairs two or more connections, so your overall speed gets faster.

I get around 17/2 Mb/s with my ADSL and 6/3 Mb/s with my phone over the 3G network.

If I share the connection on my phone to my PC via USB and use that and my ADSL in Connectify Dispatch I get around 23/5 Mb/s

Before I downloaded torrents at speed 1.8 MB/s and uploaded at 210 Kb/s. When using Connectify I can download at 2,4 MB/s and upload 500 Kb/s.

Presumably there is some hardware involved? Or not? Their web pages are a bit short on detail...

In the absence of anyone using it knowing the answer, the reply I imagine would be 'Another network card'. Might give it a try as I already have a proxy with two NICs that's a 24/7 machine so could service the other machines and try it with no contract FTTC on the 2nd line (which is an ex-Megastream to London) to see how it goes.

It's not rubbish at all, maybe you should read into it more.

It can basically bond two adapters on your computer together which are presumably connected to different internet connections so you can utilize both of them for downloading/uploading.

I.E. Bond your Ethernet Adapter (100Mbps for example) and Wireless Adaptor (130Mbps) and spread the load across both of them (Achieving a theoretical 230Mbps if you have a 230Mbps to spare between two internet connections). Obviously there is no benefit when using only one internet connection unless the router has certain QOS rules enabled.

I did it at university and got around 200Mbps by combining the 100Mbps connection in my room with the Wireless connection available.

Very clever piece of software.

It is rubbish, it does NOT make the broadband speed any faster.

Just because you bonded two lines at 100 and 130 to get 230 does NOT mean it is any faster.

Can you explain why it's rubbish and why it doesn't work? I would expect a better qualified and explained answer from you.

Are you being intentionally dense?

If I had 2 FTTC lines at 80/20 non bonded, I could use one at a time to get 75mbps download and 18mbps upload on either.. With this software I would get around 140mbps download and 35mbps upload as the software has "combined" the 2 connections into one.

I don't get what your point is

How can it be faster?

Awkward is probably the correct word.


It's just ADSLMax's explanation he really has issue with, because the software will make your throughput faster than a single connection, but not equal to or more than the sum of the two connections.

Unless of course they used lossless compression on the data, which could theoretically increase perceived throughput depending on how compressible said data was.

Well I'm sure it does what it says on the tin as adslmax says but the only way to check is to find out for yourself....

I have a question though: with both connections in use, which external IP address will be returned if you look it up? I suppose the answer might whichever connection it's using at the time depending on what you are doing (see links below) .

I have another feed available via WiFi so will give it a try in the next few days.

THIS LINK will show how it works with an illustration of its Control panel and HERE for how to download a single file faster using both connections but needs the aid of a download manager to chunk the file to aggregate properly. So it does need some help.

You can switch the aggregation on and off if you want.

The only oddity I can find is that it says somewhere it can only handle 50Mb max?

If anyone finds more useful info then please post.

I can only presume that speedtest.net uses multiple simultaneous TCP streams when performing a speed test (like the TBB HTTPx6 does). I also presume that all the software is doing is tracking individual connections and balancing them across the interfaces as required to achieve the best overall throughput.

If the speed test was just a single TCP stream, there would be no speed increase as that would have to begin, transfer and terminate all on the same interface (you can't just chop a TCP session midway onto another interface with a totally different WAN IP address).

Clever software, but hardly ground breaking if you consider how it must work to achieve what it does. And as MHC says, it does not increase the speed of your broadband. It allows your local network to utilise the potential speed of several different network (broadband) connections to multiplex layer-4 protocols (TCP/UDP) across them to maximise the total available bandwidth across all those connections.

I think you're just being very picky with words.

Because unless you have a bonding/load balancing router you can't use both at the same time for the same purpose. The term 'Broadband Speed' is presumably the speed in general.

By using this software you can join both together and make your general broadband speed faster.

Think of it as a car (Broadband) with two engines.

With one engine the car has 150Hp, with the other it has 50Hp.

If you can put them together (Connectify) in the same car, you can (To some extent) improve your overall horsepower (Broadband speed) and make your car go faster. Otherwise you'll just be stuck with one engine.

No,

I am being accurate. IT DOES NOT MAKE THE BROADBAND SPEED ANY FASTER.

You are right, but the way you are pointing you're point across (or not as it happens) is just lowering people's opinion of you.

No it's doesn't make the broadband any faster, because the broadband speed in the way you are meaning is each individual connection. But the throughput when using the software is increased, which is the way the majority of people have interpreted it.

There's no need to shout. Besides it's very easy to understand what the OP was trying to say.

Yes, it's gone very quiet.

It's worth noting that they have an offer on that reduces the cost of a lifetime licence for up to 3 PCs from £40 down to £14 which is what I did. Works well although I could only test it with a very poor adjacent Wi-Fi signal on the second NIC to get an additional 4Mb overall via speed test. I'm toying with taking up a no-contract VDSL trial for a month on my other line to see how it works in anger.

Does this package actually do anything that can't be done already for free? WiFi AP, internet connection sharing, bridged ethernet? Yes, even Windows can do these things. Load balancing router? Yes, both Windows 7 and 8 can do this too, built in.

Would you be able to try some download/upload test to show how it performs?

Things like bittorrent, download in chrome/ie/ff etc.

Thanks

How does http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/ispa behave?

Edited by deleted (Tue 02-Sep-14 13:48:40)

I did try this a while ago with my Virgin connection + EE 4G tethered and it "worked" IE did what it's meant to and balanced the connections

http://www.speedtest.net/result/3680655397.png

I did do a TBB test but it was too long ago it's gone out of my history, it was around 207Mbps down though

Ok upload behaves then.

Because you are load balancing and not bonding.

Hi Tim,

Software is still working okay here when I use it.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3744950929

152+50 and 12+13 roughly

Are you still using this software? How are you getting on with it. I also have Virgin 152 and Plusnet fibre and would like to combine both, I have been looking at this software but I see it's not compatible with Mac OSX.
