Hi,
Where I work we're looking into providing a basic Internet Service into
'accomodation' rooms. Work to flood wire this accomodation is starting
shortly. We currently share a standard 8Mb MAX ADSL service around
various buildings on location at work quite successfully (using fibre
and various smoke 'n' mirrors! ;-) ), but for this new project we're
looking at looking to install two new ADSL lines for each of the two
'blocks' of acommodation. There are no more than 190 rooms in total,
but unlikely that 190 people will be using this service at any one
time. My original idea was to just have one line for each 'block', but
I'm interested in the bonding feature of the Firebrick.
Users will be using it for general web surfing; www, e-mail, on-line
games, etc. No P2P but just offering a small service for people
staying on-site for short periods of time within their rooms. Our
current MAX line we have (using BTConnect Office, 20:1 Contention) is
sync-ing at around the 7.4Mb mark, and I've witnessed downloads
exceeding 640kbps.
I'm interested in making the download pipe 'fatter' for these users and
bond the two new ADSL lines together to increase throughput. Would the
Firebrick be the ideal solution for this?
Sorry about being cryptic about the some of the specifics, but I can't
go into great detail on-line.
Any input gratefully recieved!
Cheers
Pete
