Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
Are you sure those numbers are right? I just did a speed test on my comcast connection and I get 4.2 Mbps down and 382kbps up. Do a speed test here: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
Yeah you can't use two connections worth of bandwidth and total it up. It doesn't work. You'd basically have two IP addresses since each connection is on a different network. You can however use a Dual WAN router in a type of Load-Balancing setup.
What this will do is it will allow you to use both connections simultaneously, but not both TOGETHER. What I mean is that say both connections are a 1.5 Mbps each. You CANNOT download 1 file at 3Mbps, but you can download two files at 1.5Mbps each. Kinda see what I mean? You can't split the file among two connections, because you can't synchronize them, but you can use both connections.
Nah I doubt doing that will do anything to increase speed. Wireless and wired connection use industry standards in communication, like 802.11b/g. It may make setting up multiple network components easier though as some devices may not like each other if they're from different manufacturers.
I was studying CIS before I switched to mechanical engineering. I used to be a huge computer geek back in high school. I knew so much about computers it's not even funny, but now I've lost a lot of my computer knowledge and made room in my head for car info. lol

by 20-30k, u mean 20-30 KB, right? that only works out to be 160-240 kilobits/sec. if so, i'd be livid. I'd be calling my isp right away..thats bullshit for a high speed line. IIRC, dsl speeds are guaranteed when you sign up.. see what speed you were promised when you signed up and see if its below that or not

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
Why is mine so shitty? It's always been shitty. I pay $82/month for this shittty internet and there is nothing better available. This town sucks. ----, I swear everything in this town is shitty lowgrade and second class. 
You wouldn't believe it, but even most of the people here are ------- worthless. The "workers" here are ------- lazy *** drugee losers that only care about where they're going to get their next bag of speed/weed/crack/ or pill from. ------- pathetic. Even the people who represent this place are fucked up drugee losers.
