ADSL Multiple Connections

[Napalm]

Is it Possible to Connect to two or three different ISP's, Using 2 to three different pc's?? Using one ADSL Router/Modem and one ADSL Line?

example : one pc using Telkom(3gig), another pc using Another ISP and different type package ?? (5gig or 10gig)?

Also if you have a 512K ADSL line, How would the speed be split between 2pc's ? , or does the modem / router connect both at 512K speed and just load balance to each pc ??

yes.

for example, this PC is connected to UUNET Uncapped, the other is connected to WebAfrica 3GB.. using the same router.

all PC's will share the line speed according to what bandwidth each PC is demanding.

The only way I know of doing this is putting the router in bridged mode. This will allow each pc to "dial up" to use the adsl account that it wants. You should be able to find out how to do this in the manual.

I do something similar - the router dials into one account via pppoe while this laptop and a pc are set up to connect via pppoe to another (less shaped) ISP.

The speed gets shared between whatever is using it at that point in time.

Look At Route Sentry

In our offices we run route sentry to manage two accounts . We use a IS 30 GiG account for all local traffic-- no worrying about local connectivity -- 30 gig is enough. Then we use a SAIX account for international 3 GIG. When you are only using the SAIX for international it goes a long way. We dont have to worry about being capped anymore. Best part of it is that is is seemless.

If you have los of users use a proxy server -- we use DD proxy. Easy to set up and free -- of course if you like it youy can make a donation. Then to keep track of all of this we use the SASA stats analyser. All of hem are free. All come from Myadsl user Antibody who even helped us with the setup.

We use Web Africa as a service provider for the two accounts. They offer SAIX topups that rollover if you dont use the bandwidth. Its easy and reasonably priced and the service from them is good.

Good luck sorting it all out. Happiness is when it all just works!!
