At some point it's going to be cheaper to buy a leased line.
Somewhere around £85 - £90 which is a Lot but less than I was paying for one broadband connection + Sky TV when I had it

Still a lot cheaper than a leased line.

Now if only I could get VRRP playing nice between EdgeOS and RouterOS, I think if I want to run VRRP i'll have to replace the Edgerouter Lite with another routerboard (It doesn't appear to do a Virtual-MAC)

Load-Balancing drops out of Accelerated mode and as such isn't really any faster on the downstream than VM on their Own.

Also I'm currently running an Edgerouter-Lite and have been playing with VRRP between it and a Routerboard, but Sadly it looks like EdgeOS can't use a virtual mac so I get ARP cache issues when failing over.

Although VRRP might be a bit overkill for a home connection
