okay=2E=2E=2E

Well we are setting a budget of about =A3120 a month for a net connection
(lots of people in the flat)=2E

Anyone suggest a better solution for us?

If my knowledge is correct, you can use something called channel bonding,
but you have to do some weird stuff=2E=2E=2E Almost all routers only suppo=
rt one
connection as specified=2E Assuming that you are using lots of traffic of
little files (not big files) then you COULD do it=2E=2E=2E But to be hones=
t, I'd
just ask the ISP to bond them=2E Look into using a linux router project bo=
x
thingy, typically something that can do load balancing as you say=2E=2E=2E=
 I
believe FREESCO can do it, although don't quote me on it=2E

If I had three 1mb connections I could connect them all up to a linux
router=2E=2E=2E right?

Well could I then load balance the usage across the three lines?
