i have a dial up connection through the standard phone line that connects a 45.3kbps. i have also a gprs connection through me mobile phone that connects at 28kbps. i am using windows xp. is there anyway to join 2 different connections to make 1 big connection so i can surf the internet at 73.3kbps? this doesnt sound impossible. there must be a way somehow? i can get both connected at the same time but only data will transfer to the first connected one and not both. |

You might be able to download faster, but you can't turn them into one fast connection.

No way. How come you get only 28kbps on gprs? You should get connected on a dial up at 50.6 kbps. But in true sense you may get only 8 to 10 kbps.

kbps means kilobits per second, kb/s means kilobytes per second. 8 bits=1 byte.
That's why the 56k modem can't go much faster than 6-7 kb/s.
And if you connect vis GPRS and dial-up, you may be able to find a program that will allow you to download via multiple connections, but you can't make your connection faster than say, when you're playing a game (2 totally different ips, ya know).

I believe it is possible to bridge two connections in XP, but it may only allow high speed connections to be bridged.
Another good option, although I don't know how to do it, is to make one connection strictly incoming and the other strictly outgoing. I know this can vastly speed up browsing because each connection is hampered by having to switch between incoming and outgoing data. I've seen this done, but I would have no idea how to do it. |

Yes u can bridge 2 internet connections,which u can do through a router with some settings from ur isp. But u cant bridge a dial up and gprs connection.
Ppl still use dialup??

Yeah I had a bridged connection at my old apartment, I could only get a max of 2Mbps on one line and so I had a second line installed and they bonded the two lines to give me 4Mbps. It was really costly and truelly was not worth it, but since then I have moved home and can now get 8Mbps....  |
