FTTC router installation query

IIRC long ago on ADSL lines Andrews and Arnold could set things up to do
"real" balancing by allowing you to send the same IP address up either
link and doing the same downstream. I guess you needed their firebrick
to do it and it's still not "really real" as is multilink ppp or the
link level bonding that DSL was in theory capable of.

I don't know if it works with FTTC, ISTR them temporarily having issues
with BTW filtering addresses and messing it up. Perhaps with OR and BTW
involved it's even harder.

All seems well so far so will leave as it is. At home I have a 2820 and
have various policies on there, so, e.g. my Usenet connection goes through
ADSL but port 80 through virginmedia cable. Will see how I go on if I get
a faster cable connection.
