RE: 12 Steem bounty: Can I join two internet services together?
1 - You can use 2 connections either together at the same time, assign devices to what connection you want, or use one connection for redundancy. Not sure what you want on technical side, but it can be done and is done at any business that needs consistent uptime. Think the first time I had one set up was 15 years ago.
2 - You can do it a few different ways, but the easiest (by far) is to purchase a Load Balancing Router. With these you can configure if you just want redundancy (if the faster connection goes down) or if you want to pull from both connections at the same time to split up the load. Easy purchase from Amazon, check the reviews and find a 4 star + with at least 100 reviews IMO. Here is an example of one, not that I know anything about it just happened to be one that came up in google with some good graphics to explain things...lol.
3 - I had Wow and Comcast at the same time recently. I kept both in case I didn't like WOW...if you can get WOW do it and dump Comcast! Anyways when I had both there were 2 lines coming to the house as each runs their own. If Verizon shows up and wants to use the old line tell them you want a new line as you need to keep the old service running for a few days while you switch over. I told Wow I couldn't afford any downtime, they charged me $79 or something to run new lines...totally worth it.
This is worth a watch:
COOOOL Thank you. Super helpful!!!!
I am outside of Chicago, and you?
Glad that I could help...and thank you for the vote!
I live in the Philly area. And thank you for your support as well.
We loved Philly when we went for the 4th of July years ago. The city has an amazing party and firework show for the 4th and it was really cool being there on the 4th. We explored around the city, find some of the not so nice areas too, but loved seeing the architecture and meeting the people who have their own personality that I think is unique to Philly.
As for support, you are making my contest pay for itself which is amazing! I really wanted to recognize that fact in a post, but wasn't sure if you would like that attention or not. Some people do there thing and don't want other to realize it, others appreciate the recognition and it's impossible to know the right thing to do. Anyways if your ok with the idea I'd like to include a small thank you in next weeks contest post. Either way know that your one vote allows me to keep doing this without worrying about the money which right now matters...hate that it does, but it really does after the boiler blew up.
Congratulations! Your submission earned you 5.716 STEEM from this bounty. You have received 5.680 STEEM from the creator of the bounty and 0.036 STEEM from the community!
