Bonded ADSL vs. Lease Line

[dubbley]

HI Anyone

I'm starting up a WISP and whant to know what is the best way to connect to the internet, bonded ADSl or Lease line? I know ration diff. between the 2 and the price diff but what is the best if i gat +/- 70 clients a 12mb bonded ADSL or a 1mb 1:2 lease line and what min. speed can one guarantee a client.

Thank You
Dubbley

If you are planning to provide a commercial service then I wouldn't touch ADSL. There is no way to provide any kind of guaranteed service with DSL.

If you think that 'leased line' is your only other option then you are limiting yourself significantly. There are now numerous fibre and metroE connectivity products from a number of providers that will be more cost effective than a leased line and give the same kind of performance.

well lease lines are out dated

You could get 2x ADSL (bonded or leased or normal) lines from different providers, say, 1 from Telkom and 1 from Vodacom.

Split your traffic, International over the Vodacom and local over Telkom.

If the Vodacom goes down, reroute all traffic over Telkom, if Telkom goes down, reroute over Vodacom.

If both go down you will have an heck load of ****...
