You could expect roughly twice, three, or four times the performance on your current

line, depending on how many you choose to bond. Bonded DSL often results in impressive

speeds to rival much costlier solutions. For instance, if you are currently connected on

an up to 8Mbps line but are consistently getting around 4Mbps download speed and

around 2Mbps upload, you could expect to multiply that to up to 16Mbps down and 8Mbps

up with four Bonded DSL lines

 

How much it costs

Bonded DSL costs vary depending on how many lines you choose to bond. At its best, a

four line solution is likely to cost around the same as an SDSL line but expect to pay a set

up fee for this. Installation of around 200 is likely, with a similar cost per month for

four bonded lines. Fewer bonds will be significantly cheaper but remember you ll also be

paying line rental on each line you use.
