Multilink PPP is used to double the
available connection speed to the Internet, this can potentially halve the time
to download web pages and files from the Internet*. The AETA does this by
making a second call to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) so that two lines
are then available for downloading information. The AETA
will make the second call to your ISP depending upon the
amount of information you are downloading from the Internet. By default it will also disconnect the second call to allow
an incoming or outgoing phone call.
If your ISP supports Multilink PPP,
you may wish it enabled. Follow the link below for instructions on
enabling Multilink PPP.
* Download times from the Internet vary due to many factors only one of which is the speed you are connected to the internet. Other factors may include the speed of the server you are connecting to and the speed and bandwidth of any connections between your ISP and the server you are connecting to.
