Thought I'd drop a cool fact about Openserve.

One ONT can have 4 x B numbers. One on each port.

Have a flatlet or share a building but don't want multiple lines installed or maybe the poll does not have strands left? The ONT sharing is a decent solution. Each B number gets assigned a LAN port ID. This method also does not require you to pay for installation (not that Openserve has an installation fee currently on most ISPs)

Just sharing this random bit of info. :)
 
So in theory, if I have 2 accounts I can achieve 400/200? My router does support dual WAN and I have 2x 200/100 accounts.

Might want to try it...

Not sure that is what dual wan does. More for failover etc.

You would need to bond the lines as I understand it.

Well you are going to need to pay for another line but yes if you have a fancy router that has Dual WAN and can load balance you can essentially have that without any additional fibre lines and ONTs that needs to be installed. It will be around R2900 for the setup per month though which is very expensive.

I get a pretty nice staff discount on my main line so might actually for for a second one :D

RT-AX88U (bought both from Rebel Tech) running Asus Merlin. I highly recommend it for security reasons, privacy, and for simply messing around with custom community build features.

Speedtest? Not sure it bonds the two, have cheaper asus router has dual wan too. Using it for failover...

Yeah load balancing isn't bonding. It does combine them though. If you balance them at 1:1 then it means if you run a download in a download manager with 10 total connections/threads 5 connections will go to WAN1 and 5 connections to WAN2 for example.
 
@cavedog Speedtest? I'm curious what's going to happen with real-time applications such as gaming when you combine let's say Cool Ideas and Afrihost.

I wonder if you can achieve the same with Frogfoot fibre because if you can then you can get 2000Mbps/2000Mbps for R3734:unsure:

I can but don't have a Dual WAN router unfortunately. So now I run 2 x routers until I find something nice for Dual WAN. For me lucky I get a decent staff discount so my 200Mbps line costs me less than R700 per month and the 10/10 costs me R597 now.

Will see where I go with this setup but I mainly wanted to get it when I need to push my 200Mbps line line to the max and want to still game with low latency so I will use the 10 for gaming ect and the 200Mbps for the download and uploads to google. :)

go with ubiquity, built in hardware firewall. packet scanning, multiple wans/vlan. active threat management. Reliability. all of those so called gaming routers are k@k
