Bonded
Broadband
123Telecom
offer advanced high speed Bonded Broadband technology
to Double, Triple or Quadruple
the
bandwidth
of your Internet connection.
Bonded
broadband uses multiple telephone
lines,
each
of which is enabled
with Standard or Premium 8Meg Max
from 123Telecom. Your multiple broadband connections
are
then
configured at our Internet datacentre to work as
a single "Bonded" service with the same
IP addresses on each connection.
To
use Bonded Broadband, your router must
be upgraded to an advanced CISCO device with multiple
ADSL interface cards (WICS). To ensure a hassle free
migration to our Bonded service, your CISCO router
must be updated, tested and pre-configured
by 123Telecom
engineers (at our
premises) prior to use. We normally charge a fixed
price of £250 for this service, however
this service is
Free
of charge if
you
purchase/rent/lease your CISCO router from 123Telecom.
CISCO
routers provide secure
remote access which enables us to test, check and
update your configuration as necessary. This
Remote management facility enables the Routers
to be physically installed by your own IT staff,
thus saving the cost of an installation engineer.

Bonded
Broadband V Balanced Broadband
Bonded
Broadband should not be confused with Balanced
Broadband, which also uses multiple ADSL lines.
Balanced
Broadband is limited because each ADSL line has
is own
IP address and therefore any single internet
session cannot take advantage of multiple
connections, making the maximum speed for any one
user the same as a single ADSL connection.
Furthermore,
some dual WAN routers attempt to route
sessions
over multiple connections at the same time,
which can result in serious problems if packets
arrive on the Internet
out
of sequence or with different IP addresses.
For
this reason 123Telecom can only recommend
the use of Bonded Broadband.
