Can I double my internet bandwidth with 2 capped connections?
I am from India and bandwidth here is not quite as cheap as other places. I pay $30 for my 64k internet connection. The connection is facilitated over Ethernet from a local provider. The package comes with a single Static IP. The network speed is 10 Mbps with the bandwidth limit being imposed by the provider's server.
The problem is that to scale to 128k on a single line I have to dish out $150 !! The logic of the pricing eludes me... I was wondering if there was some way I could get another 64k ethernet line from the provider, hook it up to another NIC and double my bandwidth? This would of course mean that each NIC would have it's own Static IP but would be on the same network (same subnet in fact). I have read some stuff on adapter teaming but I don't really know if that works in my case. What kind of hardware / software would be required to rig this up ? |

I have heard about some routers that support multiple WAN interfaces, try a google search.

Will I know very little about routers and networking in general. So I would need some help here.
After a search I came up with something like this Do you think something like this can do the job for me? |

Can I use a linux box as a gateway / router and run some software on it that allows me to do the bandwidth aggregation? What kind of stuff might one need for this solution?

Heres the deal, with the routers that do load balancing with two connections without the help of the ISP it will send one request out one connection then the next request out the other. This is known as per site load balancing this will not double your download speed! it will only give you the max bandwidth of one connection that the request was made from this is because each connection will have its own IP address and on the return from the destination the request will only go to one IP (the one the request was made from) it will not fragment your upload either. If you would like to actualy double your bandwidth (per packet load balancing) this would have to be done with the ISPs help which involves two circuits with equal administrative costs to and from the ISP. However the benifit of per site is that when two request (downloads) are done at the same time you would have the full bandwith of each circuit instead of sharing the bandwidth on one circuit. And no, even the almighty linux box can change this hehe!
