how to connect to net simultaniously using 2 diffrent connection type from single pc?

Question

Is there a way to connect to internet using 2 different connections from a single pc to boost surfing speed? Long back when there was 14k modems was norm i did read about a company which marketed a modem which used 2 telephone lines to give you 28k speed! Those days 28K was like today’s T3 or better connection! I have on my disposal one GPRS connection and a 56K dialup modem connection

Answer 1

you can do it with a bonded connection on dialup from single ISP if they let you login simultaniously, which we used years ago!!!! search for PPP Multilink or bonded connections

Answer 2

You're trying to connect a single system using dual network ports to increase surfing speed? - Okay .... So, what's your connection now? Most of you bandwith limitations are designated by your ISP. You can usually get faster surfing with Broadband Cable Modems (as apposed to DSL and Dial Up). Next up from there would be a T1 or higher which most people cannot afford unless they are a business model. I'm surfing at (100mpbs) max. I cannot do more withouth having my ISP set me up for more bandwidth. Here's an example of some network usage on 100mbps..... If you have a single 100mbps connection coming in, and 3 users at the same time on the network, one is downloading mp3's, the other one using the internet to check email, and another playing games... those will all create network congestion, and your 100mbps that you pulled might now only be like 70 or whatever X amount less for you... if you are the only one on your network and you are "hard wired" or utilizing your network connection port, you should be getting 100mbps if nothing else is taking place. (assuming you are broadband cable)..... The best thing to do is talk to you ISP, find out what you can do to increase your bandwidth.

Answer 3

That (modem trick) only works if your connecting to the same service provider POP.

You can only have a single IP address. You have to be able to run multilink PPP over the connection.

The modem thing your thinking about was actually an ISDN T/A. The multilink PPP ran on the modem, not in windows. The logical (IP) connection looked like a single connection, when under the covers there were 2 connections sharing the load.

Answer 4

Those old "bonded" connections worked fine if you were connecting to the same ISP with both connections. I did it for years before we got cable Internet where I live.

Connecting to 2 separate ISPs won't aggregate your connection speed, though. Sorry.

Answer 5

Your computer will only be able to use one signal at a time, as you will be getting one IP from one connection and a different one from the second, and they won't be able to run at the same time, let alone work off of each other.

Sorry

Answer 6

Just get Verizon Fios Fiber to the Premise you wont have to worry about speeds :)
