Hi there!
Been looking at ISPreview for a while for ways to make my broadband more reliable!
We get decent speeds of 15mbps but it drops out around 2-3 times a day (for around 3 minutes then comes back online again). Not good for video calls!
I was wondering therefore, if we got a second line wether it would create a more reliable connection. I expect that this second line would also drop out 2-3 times a day. My question is would they drop out at the same time? Seeing as they take basically the same route to get here, would they be expected to both drop at the same time? Or is there some other reason why they could drop and therefore the two are independent of each other?
I'm looking at having two different ISPs just to minimise potential overlaps. I would then look at internet bonding or a load balancing router.
What do people think?
Chris
