Possibly connecting a single modem to multiple devices through triple bonding.
Possibly connecting a single modem to multiple devices through triple bonding.
Hey everyone, I'm looking to boost my internet speed. Right now I'm getting about 250Mbit with my FritzBox 7590 using ITU G.993.2 VDSL2 with supervectoring. If I can get around 500Mbit with a G.993.2 VDSL2 bonding setup on a FritzBox 7583, that would be great. I'm curious if any modem supports both VDSL2 bonding and 5G bonding at the same time. Combining all these could push speeds close to 1Gbit and even include error recovery. Have anyone tried this before?
I remember Linus created a video about connecting several devices together. It needed special tools at home and on the ISP side. Usually, for two connections you’d use load balancing or failover, but neither offers quicker speeds. The modem isn’t responsible—it’s the router that handles those features. Modems are typically internet-focused. For instance, the Frtiz box includes a DSL modem but also has a WAN port if you want to use it as a router. I was surprised to learn you can get 250 Mbps via VDSL, while most American DSL providers usually offer only 50 to 100 Mbps. I checked and the 7583 model supports the DSL Gig speed standard. I’m not sure if your provider can do that, since DSL speeds are limited by distance and you’d likely need to be close to the local CO to achieve gigabit speeds.
I'm included as well! This setup could involve a main fiber network that switches to DSL near the users. Merging two connection types probably won't give you the desired performance. Expect increased latency and less stability on 5G. The most practical approach might be implementing load balancing.
Many parts of Austria offer excellent FTTC service, and some locations even have FTTP within a few hundred meters. Unfortunately, my area is too remote to access it. My company provides 600Mbit VDSL2 with 500MBit 5G fallback, but I’ve already tested VDSL2 using 4G bonding—it didn’t help. I’m curious if there’s a viable method to combine DSL with 5G, though affordable hardware seems limited.
The optimal solution is failover and multi-path load balancing with an SD-WAN system. However, you won't be able to connect different media types such as 4G/5G and (x)DSL. It would be impossible to link (x)DSL with something like FTTH. It's quite challenging to get a provider to combine two identical connections from the same company without a significant cost. You wouldn't achieve gigabit speeds across dissimilar links, which is essentially not feasible.
