So I recently purchased a Motorola Q through verizon. I also have DSL at my house. The DSL is about 768K max(sucks). My verizon cell phone is around 1.2mb/second. Is there a way I can take both connections(DSL via wireless card / cell phone connection) for maximum d/l speeds? The cell phone is “modem by phone” connecting through a USB port. It is possible for me to be connected to both at the same time, I just wanna see if I can use both at the same time for faster d/l’s? ---

if your asking to combine both which is called shotgunning… then no… ---

if there is a term called shotgunning, then there has to be a way to do it 🙂 its just 2 different networks ---

shotgunning must be what the true hackzors call it, because i never heard of something that dumb… shotgunning is how you drink shitty canned beer… otherwise :dunno: but yeah, you can virtually TEAM the adapters but it’s truely pointless from many angles… not worth the time of researching it and getting it to work. ---

I am talking about well… do you remember back when those pci dialup modems came out with two slots for two r11’s you could get on two different isp’s and get a 112k connection… but it was called shotgunning… pointless yes but best thing I could think of. ---

Don’t bother with trying to multi-home or bridge or anything else. The DSL is plenty fast, and if it’s not providing within 60% of the rated line speed (speed test) then bitch at the provider for that. and 🤣 @ Jon. ---

ISDN is still around and it really never changed to much. it uses two B channels and a D channel per connection. ---

fuck it. I guess that if you have a 768K and a 1.2mbs connection, top speed can only be 1.2mbs. You can just d/l multiple files faster connecting them…not worth it. ---

Actually, using bandwidth and traffic shaping, multi-homed systems with 768 and 1222 Kb/s connections, respectively, are theoretically able to do about 1600 Kb/s when properly routing and distributing packets if I remember how to do the math correctly. ---
