Re: Redundant Internet Connection

Jason,

Is there a reason you don't use the SmartDNS feature of the FatPipe?

Henry,

I'm working on a solution right now for St. Agnes.
Currently we have a 10M fiber connection from Comcast.

I'm planning to install a Fatpipe Extreme to load balance a connection
from Comcast and ATT.
We will end up with two 10M connections that will load balance and
provide redundancy.

Fatpipe can bind different types of connections for redundancy and worth
looking at. =20
I will use round robin dns with our dns provider (dnsmadeeasy.com) for
our internal website.

Hello all,

=20

We currently have 2 bonded T-1 lines for all our Internet connectivity.
Our ISP is XO Communications and they purchase the lines from Verizon.
Sometimes the connection is good and sometimes not. Therefore we are
looking for either an upgrade from XO, a different provider or a second
source to use simultaneously.=20

=20

Is anyone out there using two or more sources for their Internet
connection? If so, are you using it for speed, redundancy or some other
reason.=20

=20

Thanks,

Henry
