Thanks mentaltom,

We have had FTTC for a while now and I upgraded one of my lines last year - it is uncapped and gave us a marginal speed bump from around 10 Mbps up to 16-18 Mbps (down) although some signs things have recently improved on this.  So I could upgrade the other and take us from about 27 Mbps to 36 Mbps but it is more expensive as, with line rental, we will end up paying £80/month.

Our speeds are poor due to our countryside location, distance from the cabinet  and aluminium phone lines apparently, sigh, hence the dual line tomfoolery

£2000 plus to install is obviously not going to fly as I live quite a long way from the cabinet

Thanks for your reply though!

Just out of curiosity, without wanting to be too off topic, what method are you using to combine both of your lines? Are you using load balancing functions of a router or something more specialist? Sounds like you have had a massive speed boost!

I have a pfsense router which does the load balancing for me,  yes I recently saw a big increase in line speed due to local upgrades and now I need to decide whether to keep both lines!
