It also provides the facility to adjust and permanently store the target SNR margin, which can significantly increase speeds as described in our SNR tweaking page. Sharedband offers two main service packages: For example, their services are not available from our rural Cambridgeshire exchange. For broadband users looking to bond relatively slow connections, even with four separate lines, the consumer routers will provide an acceptable solution. Streaming of HD video content, uploading of large files and multiple Skype calls could all be easily supported simultaneously. We missed being able to use our favourite, and highly robust, Billion modem.

Judging by the comments on Internet forums, many people incorrectly believe that load-balancing routers, which can be connected to multiple lines, provide ADSL bonding. We approached Sharedband and Richard Roberts, Sales Director, kindly agreed to let us try their service.

As well as high download and upload speeds, jitter was consistently low at 3 ms or less. To contact Mark, please email: The data processing requirements sets a limit to the maximum total bonded throughput that can be achieved by the Sharedband service, independent of the number of lines to be bonded.

This is the first part of our independent review of the Sharedband ADSL bonding services, based upon several days of extensive testing of the service. There are currently three Sharedband routers to choose from, two of which are widely available in the consumer market but which have been specifically modified with Sharedband firmware. Given our relatively long distance from our exchange and the fact that interleaving is used on both DSL lines, this is a fantastic result and firmward that the Sharedband service firmwxre an insignificant amount of latency.

The incorporation of the DrayTek router provided us with highly-valuable additional functionality:. When attempting to find information on, and providers of, ADSL bonding, we have been struck by the lack of information and widespread confusion about ADSL bonding.

Review of Sharedband ADSL bonding

The Netgear DGv4 is the cheapest of the three Sharedband routers currently available and is the easiest to set up, as no other devices are needed. If you would like to order the Sharedband service, please do so via this Sharedband information and ordering page.

While the Professional packages include day setup assistance by email or phonesupport is provided on an ongoing basis with Firmwsre Business, backed up by firmeare service level agreement. Dedicated Shareband routers which are purchased by the user are used for each connection to be bonded.

With the Billion N modems now in place using SNR target margin tweakingwe were able to reliably achieve over 6. I'm informed that Sharedband is currently redeveloping its website. If you would like to order the Sharedband service, please do so via this Sharedband information and ordering page.

The routers have to be connected to each other using the provided Ethernet cables either directly to each other or through a basic switch. It also provides the facility to adjust and permanently store the target SNR margin, which can significantly firmeare speeds as described in our SNR tweaking page. Sharedband recommends that the MTU setting in Draytek routers is set to be 32 bytes less than the optimum ISP MTUs shraedband to reflect the fact that a small proportion of data packets are used by the Sharedbznd service itself.

As with the first routers, the small package arrived by courier very quickly, and came with simple instructions.

Plus, the Sharedband service provides greater resilience than a single-line superfast broadband VDSL or cable solution. We sharddband our system rigorously over the several days, and we found that it performed flawlessly. After nearly giving up hope in the search for a bonded ADSL solution, we came across Sharedband, which may be one of the telecom industry's best kept secrets.

Compared with Netgear Sharedband routers, we were able to consistently achieve download speeds of well over 11 Mbps while maintaining a stable connections without drops over many days.

You can watch a video about Sharedband below: For broadband users looking to bond relatively slow connections, even with four separate lines, sharddband consumer routers will provide an acceptable solution.

Sharedband systems periodically undertake speed tests on each individual line and, based on these results, automatically adjust the amount of firmwre sent over each ADSL connection to optimise performance. We connected the Sharedband routers to Billion modems and a DrayTek wireless firewall router, as shown in the figure, below, to give us maximum flexibility and peak performance for all users. The routers had been pre-configured to match the settings such as IP addresses of our first routers — even though we did change these to fit with our new architecture.

Go to page 2 of our Sharedband review. We are intrigued why many more ISPs have not seized the opportunity to offer the Sharedband bonding service alongside their existing DSL services. True ADSL bonding has received little media attention to date, despite its potential to improve speeds for businesses and consumers suffering from poor ADSL speeds. This will generate a small commission to help cover the costs of running this site.

For example, their services are not available from our rural Cambridgeshire exchange. We were particularly pleased with the low ping of about 30 ms, as demonstrated by our Pingtest. The service is completely automated.
