well all ypu need is 2 connections and a load balancer ---price comparison there is loads of diff -

i am geting like 1.6mb some times even 2.0 mb on torrents -- paying price of regular promo only --even if you add them both - problem is after 1st feb when unlimited downloading will finish , i guess i have a simple soloution to shift to zong 4g for downloading big stuff and using the net for general stuff / gaming

pings have slightly improved with 2 connections ---still i dont like slow nets
What u mean by unlimited ending on 1st of feb ? U talking abt zong promo pkg or other isp ?

speed test just now with 2 connections --will upload some more screen shots as well
Aray @Dark Sith aap tow baray dark nikle, lol. The reason I will be opting for this option as long as the speed is constant without disconnects and all is because when I moved to Bahria Town, I opted for 18MB DSL and it would disconnect at all times as my SNR would be under 10 at all times.
Being on 8MB fixed that and now they're ~20 SNR at average. This is on so called freshly installed lines all underground after waiting over a year when I moved here, freaking hell.
Hopefully a solution like this can benefit me too, eagerly looking forward to it!!

EDIT: I just did a SpeedTest my self but I see some issues at the backend of PTCL as I cannot even dial 1218 so the speed is about half lol

things is if ur snr margins are 20 + then thats quite good mine are 10-12 so some times i get de-sync but some times - the speed test result is there , a decent cost effective method to get mroe speed - as load balancer supports 4 connections later on if you want you can opt for another connection and get more speed .

Got my internet installed today, well the order was placed and the new line directly to my room from PTCL will be installed tomorrow after that all is left just to try the load balancer and let the magic happens! :D

configure your routers as follows for ease of use

router 1

192.168.2.1

router 2

192.168.3.1

load balancer

192.168.0.1 or it will be 192.168.1.1

so as to avoid conflicts

plug in ethernet cable of both routers to ports on router and from router to your computer

you just have to go to advanced option screen and de select an option and thats it : -

if lines are prepper properly both connections will work in tandem : -

Thanks for the detailed information. I got my new PTCL number as well and we're just waiting on them to open to number from backend.

Hopefully of that happens by evening, I'll have lines and everything installed today as well :)

which router is use for 2 connection dsl + 3g ?
you need proper 2 dsl lines if you want to use a load balancer other option is to use wifi / and dsl on same system and use conectfu dispatch to merge both connections .
but its a hit or miss ---

Definitely happy with my purchase, thanks once again @Dark Sith!

Edit: Current setup of my 3 routers, will add another bad-ass tri band WiFi router at the end as well so I can enjoy the double speed for my DSL on my WiFi devices too soon.

Is there a device in Pakistan which can use 3g or 4g sim and connect that to the load balancer router? What did you use [MENTION=8932]Dark Sith[/MENTION]?

well yes they are routers which use this 3g / 4g and can be connected to load balancer but this is the way to go ----cheap soloution to expensive offerings via ptcl

[MENTION=8932]Dark Sith[/MENTION]: I was considering to adding like either Chargi or EVO/Wingle from PTCL in the setup to see if that can increase the upload as those services aren't capped at 1mb upload. What you think about it?
