2 (or more) ISPs at the same time HELP.

hey guys, i'm wondering here if you have any tutorial on how to enable my PC to handle 2 ISPs at the same time?

i'm on a windows7 x64 SP1 hp compaq 511 (it's laptop yeah.)

so in our locality we can opt to have a USB dongle as broadband DSL etc.

I currently use a USB dongle and would like to avail another Dongle from another ISP.

theoretically that would double up my browsing speed and Download speed right? but how do i set that up? plus I use proxy as a security and can't live without it. so, any help??

I mean we can opt to a service with either a broadband in a usb dongle or we can opt to have a dsl connection but i don't like the latter so usb is the only option.

if you have a router where you are willing to mod the firmware then this may help http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-257088/dual-wan

allows for you to have 2 wan interfaces on your router for use with 2 ISP's and it does load balancing

What you're talking about doing is would be really difficult and somewhat impossible.

You would have to synchronise the data flow between the 2 connection so that the information can be split.

e.g. if you were sending a Word document through 2 connections at once, the data would need to arrive t it's destination at exactly the right tome or the file would be out of order and the file integrity would be lost.

No i'm not asking for that. why would I have to do that?

but in cases like I'm Uploading two files, and I would like to use 1 ISP for each., that's a lot of speed compared if only 1 ISP will be responsible for the transfer right?

and say I'm browsing, and would like Firefox to Run on ISP-A then Chrom on ISP-B, that's hell of a speed compared to one. especially when no other ISP can give you enough speed as an option. so anyway is that possible?

You can pull that off with virtualization. For example, use OS X connected to ISP A then run Windows 7 via Parallels and use that to connect to ISP B.

basically in a virtualization you'd trick your ISP into thinking it has two physical IPs

Can you boot OSX and W7 both AT THE SAME TIME???? and in a laptop??

(Aug 27 '11 at 05:37) xedric14

Yes you can, VMware player, VMware fusion(for mac), Virtualbox (Oracle D: ) are free solutions. Parallels actually cost money but have more understandable features and runs really well on OS X.

Just don't do it. Waste of money -- it 999999.99 out of 100000 won't work.

i'm actually looking for virtual solutions. so why should i waste money? I won't because I would only be paying twice for twice the speed. that's good enough for me.
