Re: Virgin 2 way splitter

surely if this was allowed the capacity planning is made a joke off.

the sort of people who would want to bond 2 connections are probably heavy users, so instead of 1 guy able to fill 60% of a VM US channel he can now fill all of it or rather about 60% of 2 bonded upstreams, doesnt sound good.

thats the big issue to be wary off, some sites will auto log you out whenever ip changes, some sites may even ban you, if you downloading of a download service and use a download manager to utilise both isp's together on a multi threaded download they may detect you as account sharing and ban you.

by the way a fancy router isnt even needed for this.

one can have 2 routers (gateways) connected to the lan at once.

then on a windows pc both gateways can be added simultaneously, then you can mess with metrics, individual routing to different endpoints etc. This is what I did when I had adsl and cable activated together, I also briefly did it when I had infinity and cable together.

Seph may remember I have brought this up before.
