Hope you clever guys can help me out. I have a Billion 400G router. In order for me to have a 4meg line i must have a telkom dsl contract. Recently i got a new isp (openweb) with uncapped, unshapped account, but only during offpeak hours. Seeing that i must pay for the telkom bandwitdh and telephone line, i want to use my telkom dsl account during the day and my openweb account after hours. Is it possible to set my router up to do this?? I work from home and the net is rather slow during the openweb peak hours. I just dont have the energy to manually change the login details every day. We live in the "click and go" era and i also want to simply click and go.....

Your help will be appreciated
 
If your router supports half-bridge or bridge mode, then you should be able to switch quickly between accounts.
For this kind of setup, you'll have to dial the PPPoE connection from your PC/laptop if you want Internet access.

Unfortunately I don't know of any ADSL modems that can automatically switch over to an after-hours account. I haven't actually seen an ADSL modem that allowed you to specify multiple PPPoE accounts/profiles either.
