What is bonded broadband?

Bonded broadband is fast becoming one of the most valuable technologies in modern business. With slow internet speeds acknowledged as a global problem, finding a cost-effective solution is a light on the horizon for many organisations.

The term 'bonded' broadband literally refers to the physical bonding of multiple internet connections, to create one broadband connection which boasts a higher bandwidth capacity. Bandwidth is a term which refers to the rate of data transfer, and is measured in bits per second (bps).

The concept of merging lines – these can be ADSL or SDSL - in bonded broadband is fundamentally simple, although there are various complex techniques which are used. These include ISP bonding, I-P packet-by-packet, link-layer (for example, MLPPP) or session-by-session (also known as load sharing).

Switch to bonded broadband

Whichever method is employed to create bonded broadband, the results are the same; a much more efficient broadband connection, resulting in faster upload and download speeds. In the commercial world where speed is of the essence, faster broadband helps businesses gain a competitive edge. For those switching to bonded broadband the speed benefits are instantly apparent, particularly when dealing with large file transfers such as graphics or video.

For businesses considering upgrading to a leased line in order to increase bandwidth capacity, bonded broadband offers a cost-effective alternative. Put simply, bonded broadband is a great way to bridge the gap between a standard cable or DSL line and a costly leased line.

Bonded broadband also has a high tolerance to faults, as it removes the reliance on a single internet connection. If one link in the bonded broadband fails, then another will take over, which ensures your business stays connected.

Overall, it is the reliability coupled with competitive pricing which makes bonded broadband such an attractive option.
