Load Balanced Broadband
Increase the resiliency and available bandwidth of your network without changing your existing DSL connection.
Nildram Load Balanced Broadband is applicable to all Broadband DSL services. It is ideal in the small business environment, where multiple users are competing for internet bandwidth at the same time!
Benefit from:
- Greater resiliency – if one DSL line goes down internet connectivity will still be maintained
- Greater bandwidth – multiple users no longer compete for limited internet connectivity
About Load Balanced Broadband
The Nildram Load Balanced service enables you to combine and share two or more Broadband connections, at least doubling the amount of bandwidth available, whilst at the same time creating a more resilient solution.
The balancing works on a per-flow basis, where connections, or flows, are shared between users. The result is that, whilst a single flow cannot use more bandwidth than that provided by a single line, multiple users balance across multiple lines.
How does it work?
