Mind blown! You can get even more creative - say if I have an important business call, or the kids a critical exam - and bond It was a game changer for us in 2020, particularly during the pandemic. Sound like a lot to you, but its multiple HD streaming channels, work from home, and kids school from home for My highest dowload speeds have now been clocked at 34 Mbps down and 4.5 Mbps up. The business modems clock in around 12 Mbps down on a goodĭay, and 1.5 Mbps up. An addedīonus is that I get whole house VPN out of the deal. Throughput at my house from 6 Mbps to 30 Mbps (the original residential account was about 6 Mbps down). Of my home mesh router (which happens to be Google WiFi at the moment but doesn't really matter), and increase the In my case I wanted to multiplex my 3 DSL lines, put that in front Many people would use this, for instance, with a laptop if they haveĬrappy WiFi, and bond in LTE from their phone. To multiplex an arbitrary number of lines. For around $130 for three years you get a service that allows you ATT won't do this for you, even though the DSL modemsĪlong comes Speedify ( ). Wanted to bond the lines and aggregate the bandwidth. Rather than run multiple WiFi networks - one for each DSL modem - at my house I In 2020 some of the neighbors convinced ATT to sell us business accounts, which allows us to have more than 1ĭSL line to the house (we got 3). The ONLY wired service to my house is ATT DSL. I live in a semi-rural area and we have crap internet options. The whole-home VPN this provided - which you could still easily set up without all the multiplexing - was great but there were constant issues with streaming services trying to prevent revenue leakage. The below setup was fun and instructive however we wasted no time dumping DSL. It looked a bit too technical for my current ability, but if I hadn't found Speedify and SmoothWAN I would probably have spent weeks diving in and learning it.Note: Verizon enabled LTE Home Internet in our area a while back and we switched immediately. I don't believe Speedify has open-sourced any of their software, but in my prior research I found this which seems to be the equivalent open-source project: For me, I trust Speedify as much or more than I would trust a major Telcom company, which is to say little, but enough. (though it doesn't mean they can see everything, https encryption protects a lot). You can route through a VPS, and then AWS, Digital Ocean, et al. and then that VPN service can see what Comcast would have seen. You can use a VPN (which Speedify is) to hide that data from Comcast et al. You always need some ISP who can see a fair bit of your data, whether Comcast, Verizon, Starlink, etc. Site is working for me, from your link even. The developer has said he is working on better tutorials, and he also has a Discord server where he's very helpful.Įdit: the developer added a much more detailed setup guide for RPi4: I have a slow and unreliable local provider with no data cap, and a faster LTE plan with a data cap, and I have them combined with the land-line set as Primary and the LTE as secondary and it has changed my household's online experience completely! Frustrations gone. Speedify bonds two or more internet connections for seamless load balancing and failover that won't drop a video call or anything, unlike load balancing and failover routers which don't do so seamlessly. It integrates Speedify internet bonding service (about $5/mo) and runs really well on a Raspberry Pi4. ![]() SmoothWAN is a free/opensource fork(?) of the OpenWRT router software. I have zero affiliation with Speedify or SmoothWAN, I pay for the Speedify service and donated a few dollars to the SmoothWAN developer.
