» Broadband Bonding Guide

What is broadband bonding?

Put simply, broadband bonding is a process which involves combining several ADSL or SDSL lines in order to increase the reliability and speed of a connection. A number of unique lines are merged to create one single data flow with increased bandwidth levels.

What are the advantages of ADSL bonding?

The broadband bonding process results in a connection which boasts incredible download and upload speeds. The introduction of a bonded broadband line also improves security and reliability; one faulty line does not result in a failure across the entire service.

Other positives of broadband bonding

Broadband bonding is very flexible and the process allows companies to add or detract lines at their discretion. What's more, the Managed Communications package is guaranteed at 99.9 per cent SLA and organisations can be confident that their connections will retain the agreed upload and download speeds.

How do you install ADSL bonding?

Broadband bonding is incredibly simple to install and the process is relatively unobtrusive compared to other high-speed internet solutions. Managed Communications has a trained team of technicians who will be able to complete the procedure with as little disruption as possible. The broadband bonding package also offers complete customer support and a technical advisor will be able to assist in the event of a query.

Our site provides businesses with all they need to know about the technical side of bonded broadband, including the network architecture, but you'll be pleased to find out we do all the hard work for you. We've created our own private multi-gigabit network, resulting in a superfast uncontended internet connection reserved solely for our UK bonded broadband customers. This exclusive network creates a VIP internet experience, with speeds second to none.

However, it's not just the service itself we take pride in. Managed Communications looks after customers every step of the way, with a trained technician delivering your Ethernet interface and ADSL bonding hardware and making sure it's all installed properly. From then on, our customers can contact a broadband specialist at any time should they have a query or problem.

The technical details

Now for some facts and figures. The single high-speed line created by bonding several ADSL lines together has led some businesses to achieve connection speeds as high as 72Mbps. ADSL bonding also improves upload speeds, which can vary between 1 and 8Mbps. Most organisations decide to bond two or three circuits, but the maximum we bond is 16.

Incredibly, our broadband bonding can double your bandwidth capacity with a small number of bonded lines. For example, bonding just two circuits could boost your business from a 4Mbps downstream and 600Kbps upstream to 8Mbps downstream and 1.2Mbps upstream. It's easy to see that this would be a huge advantage to any online business that is serious about fast, efficient service and minimal fuss. We also do SDSL bonding, for speeds of up to 6Mbps, and ADSL MAX bonding, which bonds at both the infrastructure and IP layers.
