Our broadband services allow use of multiple lines to provide both of these objectives. Our extra line service allows additional lines on the same login at the same site sharing the same tariff.
Most of our broadband services allow use of multiple lines to provide bonding. When you have multiple lines lines on the same login at the same then IP routing can be set so that we send traffic to you over all the lines. Our main website will have further information about how bonding works with quotas.


One of the key benefits of our service is that downlink bonding can be achieved with nothing more than multiple cheap DSL routers on your network. There is no need for expensive multi-line DSL routers.

AAISP support per-packet '''bonding''' - this is at the IP level, and simply means that packets entering or leaving your site use the DSL lines on a round-robin basis (well, actually it based on the speed and latency of the lines in that we decide which circuit to send the packet based on which circuit will get the packet to you the quickest). That way, a single TCP/IP session is transmitted over multiple lines.

MLPPP (Multilink PPP) Is not supported - it was originally designed for ISDN, and AAISP take the view that bonding at the IP level is the way to do bonding.
