Auto Switching between DSL accounts

Just realized this Netgear VEVG2660 can do passthrough for ADSL/vdsl and "FTTH"...

Guess I just need to get a little RB711 or HEX Lite MikroTik now....

For a single machine that would be perfect.... But i need the entire network to have the benefit of the Bolt-On.... So its best to have the gateway as the device handling the pppoe Switching and a modem/router behind that in passthrough mode...

This Netgear VEVG2660 I got said it can handle scheduled tasks... But it doesn't... Will switch it out when I get a chance...

My current setup runs my entire network, every single device connects through pfsense. My netgear dgn1000 is now the modem just to get the adsl connection and it acts as an access point. I have another access point that connects to pfsense also. My pfsense handles the gateways, dhcp, upnp etc etc. And then im able to get my fatpipe and Bolt-on to the entire network. My setup is modem--->switch--->switch--->pfsense.

I have done exactly the same with Bolton and my regular Afrihost data.
I have an Asus RT-N66U.
I downloaded merlin's firmware, enabled JFFS partition and then made a startup script with a cron job to switch between my 2 Internet connections.
Runs like a charm, and don't need any extra computers, nics etc.

I do believe you can do something similar with tomatoe firmware...

Here's another two!

Do you get Night Surfer add-on with your 50GB Telkom package? If yes, why double up with the Vox Bolt-on?

That sir, is a good question... You must be a PE boy...

I guess it's the fact that the VOX Bolt-On is for 6-6 and the NightSurfer is from 12-7...

But now thinking about it, the NightSurfer is at the full fat line speed, but the VOX is limited to 10Mbps....

Gonna play with it a bit.... Just moved to Telkom from AfriGhost so still settling in...
