Getting broadband services is getting easier, but research is still required

Is your business looking to increase its bandwidth? Then bonded T1 may be worth considering. Why? Because the bonded T1 is two or more T1 Cable's that have been bonded together. Therefore raising the bandwidth. Bonded T1's may also be referred to as a bonded DS1. Bonding two T1 Cables through a router will give you the full bandwidth of two individual T1 cables. A full T1 cable will provide you with 1.5 Mbps of bandwidth and two bonded t1 cables will provide 3 Mbps You can bond pretty much bond as many T1 cables as you like but it only really makes sense to use up to 6-8 Mbps, It would probably make more sense to consider a T3 at this point.
How is it done? In order to be bonded the T1's need to run throught the same router. The router actually does the bonding, providing the higher bandwidth. The T1's that are to be bonded must come from the same ISP for this application to work.
If you have two T1's and they are not from the same provider, then you will not be able to bond them together. The best technology to use in today's world can be done through Multi-link point to point protocol. This is a bandwidth-on-demand protocol that is used in order to connect a number of different links between two systems.
If you have two or more T1's that are not bonded, then you will not be able to get the full 3.0 Mbps of bandwidth all at one time. If you did a speed test, you would not get a result of 3.0 Mbps as the maximum amount you can download or upload would be 1.5 Mbps, even if you have two T1's. Do you see why it is so important to make sure you have bonded T1's if speed is important?
