using a 2800 router to "load balance" traffic across multiple connections (diginet and ADSL) is nothing new. Clever marketing is all that it is.

true, all this have been around some already, like ipods add a lot of hype and it will sell.

Well, with the shoddy levels of Telkom support in our main office area, we would go for this (price depending).
ADSL goes down more often than a crack-whore.

Why would a customer want a leased line and ADSL load balanced solution? I'm trying to understand but I can't. Usually its the leased line as primary and ADSL as a backup connection.
But sounds like a variation of MTN NS's dual connect offering

WHY a 2800
The "old" 3620 I have will load balance between Diginet (8 Serial Ports) ADSL & ISDN & will set you back a LOT less than a new 2800 -- Unless of course there is something I am missing

In this day in age why should SMMEs be using Diginet lines? Reliable, high speed ADSL should be more than adequate!

fully agreed, I just used the 2800 as an example

A bit of an overkill as the cheaper 1841 could do it, but I suppose depends on number of lines and sustained throughput required.
Policy routing allows a co. to direct line-of-business traffic requiring guarenteed responses through the leased line, while nuisence traffic (e.g. staff browsing) can be 'load schedded' onto the ADSL.
News access is one of the applications that would benefit greatly from load balancing multiple ADSL (or other) lines, as most news servers allow multiple concurrent connections.Still means nothing for a home user like me that likes to d/l from news servers

What's wrong with crack-whore's?
They are way more useful than Telkom.
