I have two big ISP's in my area... A cable company with somewhat unreliable 3Meg service, and a DSL provider with fairly reliable 1.5Meg service. I'm curious what kind of hardware it would take to combine the bandwidth of these two internet providers into a quasi-4.5Meg internet connection with redundancy in case one of the providers fails.
I'm hoping for a semi-automated solution... something that do load balancing between the two connections and automatically reroute traffic if one of the connections dies or becomes unstable. Are their any fairly inexpensive routers that can handle multiple providers, or would I need a build a server and/or buy some high-end gear to make this doable?
