What speed can I expect from a Sharedband bonded connection?
Sharedband will aggregate the actual speeds of the lines connected to the service minus a small overhead (see Q and A below regarding overhead). For example, if you have two Broadband connections, one running at 2Mbps downstream and the other at 4Mbps downstream, the aggregated performance will be up to 6Mbps downstream. Sharedband aggregates both the upstream and downstream bandwidth. Sharedband cannot create “new bandwidth” – it aggregates the total Broadband connections and delivers what is actually available at that time. Line speeds are not always as advertised or constant throughout the day or week. Sharedband software tests the line speeds periodically and adjusts the distribution of packets to optimize the aggregated performance. In addition, packet re-sequencing is automatically activated when connections are detected to be very different speeds and latencies.
