What equipment are you using for bonding?I bonded Cherrinet and Airtel NICs coz why not. I might finish my 1000 GB bonus data much sooner than expected 😀
@maniac123 Anna Nagar, Kilpauk and surrounding areas mate. Only Airtel and BSNL used to provide ADSL internet access until couple of years ago. Now we have ACT, Cherrinet, Hathway, You Broadband and TIC Fiber offering >100 Mbps unlimited internet at 999 odd. Customers are churning faster than Airtel had expected so they are forced to go for fibre and that too before Jio starts offering broadband/iptv services. Good times ahead for us 😊
You can use a load balancing router or inetfusion+ but then you will have two IP addresses and many websites and services won't work. You can use the VPN speedify which bonds 2 connections and gives a single IP address but speed can be lower than a single connection because it is a VPN, you have to test if for yourself, if you can get good speeds then this is the best method.
If you want to use 2 connections for public torrent sites then load balancing router is the best solution as inetfustion+ can be buggy sometimes.

I created a bonding adapter with two of my NICs as slaves using 802.3ad lacp on my Cent OS VM. I followed this guide.
On Windows bonding is available only in Server OS. In normal 10/8/7 you have to assign same interface metric, reboot and you're good to go. Not as effective as bonding but works for most of the time. It's also application specific like anonuser7 had mentioned. Some apps like qBittorent, even Firefox uses two or more NICs with same metric but others may just use one.

You can follow this video to change interface metric on Windows

Make sure you assigned same values to both the interfaces, save and reboot. Applications that support multiple interfaces like torrent clients, download managers will automatically use both after that. If you wanted to configure actual bonding then I'm afraid that's only available on Windows Server OS.
It's possible on Linux though the steps to configure bonding varies depending on the distribution used.

Why not use Load Balancer?

Okay. Makes sense.
I don't know why these bunch of Airtel imbeciles advertise 100 Mbps in my street when they can actually offer 40 Mbps in reality. I am wondering where the 'V' has gone from Fiber, because i don't see 'V' anywhere near Fiber in their ads.
Funny part is I have made request for new line just to check if there is any speed upgrade to new users from my area and they told me my location is feasible for only 24 Mbps where i am already using 40 Mbps.

Because people were getting confused between Fiber and V-Fiber.
What they are doing is the PAN India Fiber Branding (That's Marketing Gimick).
Wherever they can give FTTH, It's Fiber and if it's VDSL then it's Fiber only (In back-end it's V-Fiber).
So basically, they are now saying FIBER but it can be Real Fiber or V-Fiber that depends upon the back-end only.
FTTH is limited to only those areas in India which have good potential to pay for the plans + can be long-term contract clients.
If your area has Excitel or something like that, it's hardly a case they would launch Dedicated Fiber there because Fiber Infra costs a lot and such cheap companies (other than Airtel) cuts the cables and that would cost a lot to Airtel to fix those cables.
So they are launching Fiber or have Fiber in those areas where there is no such cheap competition or the area is super clean from such practices.

Downgraded my plan to 80 GB @ 40 Mbps plus 1000 GB big bytes for Rs. 499 pm.
Airtel doesn't seem to offer big discounts like 50% rental waiver or Rs. 500 waiver for six months anymore. Something to do with TRAI's tariff transparency compliance, I guess?
