Increase Bandwidth with Splitronic Broadband Aggregator
Technology January 16th. 2006, 2:15pmSewell Direct, my employer, recently added a product that can potentially increase bandwith for your broadband connection by a factor of two. Of course, in order to increase the bandwidth you will need another broadband connection.
In the past, the only way to increase your bandwidth was to upgrade your connection, say from DSL to a T1. But with the introduction of the broadband aggregator, you can now combine two broadband connections, say two DSL lines, to increase bandwidth. By increasing bandwidth via the broadband aggregator, you can now add more computers to your network without worrying about slowing down internet speed since the aggregator automatically balances bandwidth amoung the computers connected to the internet. The aggregator is also a great tool for backup, in case one of your connections were to go down.

“In the past, the only way to increase your bandwidth was to upgrade your connection, say from DSL to a T1.”
I DSL line is usually 4 or 5 megabits, while a T1 is 1.5 megabits.

You’re right, Sam. However, I would still consider it an upgrade because you share your DSL line with a very large community so you never get the bandwidth you would on a T1 connection, which is a dedicated line.

I agree with Cameron - moving to a T1 should consistently outperform DSL even though DSL may burst at higher speeds.
