All configuration is going to be done by the CLI by the way, most of this cannot be done via the UI. Let’s get into the weeds and begin with the interface configuration. This was already in place for the cable provider, so all I did here was bring in the ADSL provider to a VLAN and transport that up to my EdgeRouter. I linked to an article from Ubiquity themselves but found it lacking commentary and it missed a couple of extra things I wanted to do, so I decided to do a write-up of my setup. One of those is the ability to create load balancing groups between connections, for outgoing network traffic. The EdgeRouter is a really good router for the network enthusiast, as it is packed with features that you can geek out with. I didn’t have the VeloCloud design ready yet, but did wanted to hook up the new connection and test it out.Įnter the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter I already had in place, as it appears it is able to load balancing between multiple connections. I planned on using VeloCloud to balance between the connections, but the new connection was actually delivered a few weeks early.

ADSL with a trusted provider turned out to be the best option. Dual ConnectionĪfter dismissing the thought of moving house again, I decided to get an extra low speed, but quality connection. 😉Īll in all, I haven’t been enjoying my internet connection for a while and I wanted to do something about it. Especially fun when doing internet calls. Latency spikes and jitter are horrible, but that can be expected on a cable network. Speeds aren’t terrible, I get a 400Mbit line for E 60,- p/m. With no fiber, a few kilometers away from the DSL termination pop (so a max of 10Mbit on ADSL), it just leaves cable. Ever since I moved to a new house, I’ve been stuck to a pretty bad ISP.
