I am running XP Home in Vaio Laptop . At home I have both
adsl and cable availabilities . Is it possible to use
them both at the same time . In practice, adding their
speeds? 512 adsl + 512 cable = 1024 kbps ?
 
No.

Multilink protocol was really more of a dialup solution to allow you to
squeeze more performance out of a dialup connection.

Since you have broadband most ISPs will not allow channel bonding like this.

Why do you have both cable and dsl?
 
Thanks ....... Gotta go now but will get back to you with
a more explanatory answer . The conections were part of
the deal in the condo i`m living at !
 
Sure thing

Either way you won't be able to bond the channels. You should just ask
either provider to give you more throughput.

No... Usually to multilink, you must use the same ISP, and usually you
had to sign onto the same modem pool on the ISP side. Some ISP's had
their end setup properly and this didn't matter, but most had problems
with the bonding of modems in different pools.

Now with adsl and cable, you are running a different protocol
altogether, so you can't bond them together.
 
Yes those are constraints and issues which resulted with MPPP but it is to
keep in mind that MPPP was brought about due to reaching the end of viable
performance gains with dialup/baseband. MPP is not an answer for broadband
nor should it be.
