Hi, I'm helping out some friends who've moved up to the peak district with their broadband.
They're on an old BT only exchange, with ADSL only. FTTPod is not available, as well as any sort of 4G/3G or even 2G signal. Their only option is 2.5mbit adsl which they have at the moment. They're getting about 500kbps up.
Bonding is an option but Openreach couldn't run a second line becuase there wasn't enough pairs on the cable going back to the cabinet.
I was thinking of load balancing a satellite connection and the adsl line, in order to provide a somewhat decent experience for video calling. I want the downlink via the larger bandwidth satellite and the uplink via the faster ping adsl. At the moment facetime via the satellite connection is barely usable but with something like this it should in theory improve.
I was planning to have three seperate wifi SSIDs, one for adsl only for data hungry devices like the sky box, one for satelite only and one for the satellite down/adsl up connection.
Is there any way to acheive this? My first though points toward some sort of MPLS link typically used for bonding.
Cheers,
Saajan
