You think he's greedy i got 5 hooked up around my house 1 for each machine.

What about once 50mb is launched?

Will it be possible to get that with a new modem or get near 40mb out of our current ones

50mb uses docsis 3 and its a higher frequency than the current system. when more and more people move to this freq, it frees up bandwidth for the lower freq users.

the best way forward to link two modems up on a network is a dual wan router, or, on a single pc, download, instal and configure wingate

how much does a dual wan router cost??
i've had a look on ebay and pricec are in excess of £180 << is that right??

i got a dual wan router and its was crap TBH it had only 10mb throughput on each wan port

why don't you look at installing 3rd party f/w like tomato onto a router, some can even use the majority of ports on it as wan so you can hook up as many as you like

btw mortmaru

with 5 modems on your line do you get 20mb to each pc?
