[plug] DSL Lines

[Shannon Carver]

It's not possible with the ADSL1 standard to physically "bond" the lines together to make one pipe, I believe.  You can take steps to try and do the same thing with a load balancing router/Linux EQL.

I was reading a spec sheet on ADSL2/2+ recently (Linked from Whirlpool I think), which stated that one of the many advantages with ADSL2/2+ was the ability to bond lines into one.

Please corrent me if I'm wrong :P

I suspect that multilink-ppp is an option, or load balancing using 
round-robin, or asking your ISP, but I've not done it, know of anyone 
who did or had enough need to actually follow any of my suggestions up 
to the next level.

So, I'm *guessing* yes.
