Funneling two ISP's into one to double bandwidth???

[karlh]

Right before broadband became commonplace there was software made that would take two dial-up sources and funnel them into one for the purpose of doubling the bandwidth. Is there anything like that available for wireless cards? I have a pretty slow DSL one location. It's about .45 kbps when tested through Speedtest.net.

All of the neighbors nearby have wireless. The DSL is soooo sloooww that I can connect to a one bar signal and get the same internet speed. Is there a way we can feed off of each others bandwidth?

Thanks!

On the old dial up it was called "Shotgunning" the connections. You don't have much of an option.

Your bottleneck is not the wireless but the DSL itself. Your wireless could be 54gb, doesn't matter since the DSL could be 3mb up/768k down.

At any given time data will be transmitted out one path and received on one path. In larger environments load balancing would take place and the packets would be routed by another device over multiple connections. This would mainly be dealing with T1s, T3s, etc.

In short, you are not able to do what you're wanting to do.
