</div>I would still consider bonding multiple connections that are backed<br>
by both BT and an unbundled provider for diversity. Individually<br>
they will be worse contention and lower availability than EFM, but<br>
in combination they should be better and may represent good value<br>
for money.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://aaisp.net.uk/" target="_blank">http://aaisp.net.uk/</a> can sell you such a product that will be pretty<br>
much plug and play. They can do the EFM quote too though I wouldn't<br>
expect it to be the cheapest, so I only mention them because they<br>
are likely to be able to do you the bonded solution as an official<br>
service.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
