Which ADSL2+ provider?

Weaver:
I do indeed bolt multiple dsl lines together, getting multiple speed on single downloads in either up or down direction. The vastly increased reliability that I get is superb, as one line can fail and no one ever notices.

Hi
I do plan on doing something similar but using two Open VPN connections to machine I have in a hosting centre, bonding them together and using per packet round robin load balancing. I suspect there will be issues with out of order packets but we will see. Failing that I may be giving AAISP a call.

I think FTTP might be coming but getting solid information out of my regional BDUK people is proving difficult.

Weaver:
Out of order packet phenomenon can be a nuisance for me sometimes I suspect, no proof without struggling poring through traffic captures. I have four lines which is one too many and lines with differing speeds, wildly so on the upstream which could well be causing me performance problems.

I would think some systems software is better than other offerings in respect of how intelligently and responsibly it handles out-of-orderness. It would be nice if protocol stack designers had experience living with it themselves so that they would be motivated to do the right thing.

I have a suspicion that there has been some misunderstanding by the "lower levels" of TT support . . . A misunderstanding based upon the two different DLM processes: the Openreach DLM version for the FTTC GEA product and the TT DLM version for their ADSL product.

Quite possibly. I've never pushed the issue since requesting a reset is very easy.

There certainly is this confusion on their forum without a doubt. When I requested a DLM reset last time, the first reply to my post was from a "Community Superstar" (not TalkTalk staff, just a volunteer forum moderator I think) who said that only Openreach can perform a DLM reset. They then told me to do a "30 minute reset", meaning leave the router off for 30 minutes as this "resets the DLM". Of course this is complete rubbish, and probably is a corruption of the advice you can find on this site advising that when turning off a VDSL modem it should be left of for 30 minutes to prevent DLM seeing the resync as instability.
