Team Lightbulb Communications - I’ve been a Sharedband customer for over one year and their service has been incredibly reliable and durable. I have two broadband providers, Verizon FiOS Internet Service and Cox Broadband. Both of these broadband services are bonded into one using the Sharedband technology. Most of the time, I have about 70Mbps down and 25Mbps up for my broadband service. I run multiple VoIP systems over this broadband, I have two Internet enabled TV sets and multiple other broadband devices such as an HD SlingBox, a Roku box, a ZillionTV box, multiple high-end computers and other devices requiring persistent and high speed broadband service. The Sharedband service has never let me down. Prior to using Sharedband, I was a devotee of dual-WAN routers and I’ve had several of these dual-WAN systems and I thought they were extremely good for preserving broadband if one of the service providers had a failure. Both of my broadband providers have been extremely reliable also, but the Sharedband technology has kept me up and running when there have been hiccups coming from the service providers. During the 13 months that I’ve had the service I’ve had one of the Sharedband routers fail but Sharedband got me two new routers almost immediately and I was back in business. I love the Sharedband service. Big, persistent and reliable broadband service.

Archbishop Thomas Murphy High School is a Catholic college-preparatory school located in Everett, Washington. IT Director, Vince Alkire, says "Sharedband offered our high school a low cost way of getting a fast, reliable, Internet connection for a number of applications such as the school's hosted website. The school originally started with two 3-MB ADSL connections bonded together by the Sharedband service and replaced a more expensive T1 line as a way to cut costs. However, because of the heavy traffic demands from both students and faculty, we realized we needed to increase the bandwidth beyond the aggregated 6 MB connection. We were able to benefit from the flexibility of the Sharedband service by simply adding a third  3-MB ADSL line and seamlessly bonding it with the existing two lines to provide us with a 9 MB connection. In addition to the faster speed, both down and up, the resiliency of having multiple lines also delivered a failover solution at no additional cost.”

ColoFind.net is a nationwide broker of data center and telecommunication services.  "As co-founder of ColoFind.net, I conduct much of the sales activity of the company from my home office", says Eric Larson.  "Since my calls are often with C-level executives that may have taken a month or more to arrange, it is essential to insure that my VoIP calls have sufficient bandwidth and that they do not drop.  I selected Sharedband to provide me with faster speed and a resilient connection. I have intimate knowledge of Telco/ISP options and can firmly say that Sharedband allows me greater speeds and redundancy all at a fraction of the cost of any other solution I have ever seen. You can literally mix and match your circuits from different ISP’s/carriers and Sharedband bonds up to four connections regardless of type (DSL, FiOS, Cable or Wireless). I was able to sign up for basic month-to-month connections from two different service providers with no need for a static IP from each ISP since Sharedband provides the Static IP's required for the "single" connection.   They actually bond the throughput of each connection together for a truly bonded solution and provide Data Center quality redundancy to any location that can get broadband.

Sharedband works perfectly with VOIP and circumvents the need for QoS.  Sharedband bonds my Comcast to Verizon FiOS! My speed tests show 38 Mbps down and 6 Mbps Up!"

Plymouth Poultry Company is a wholesale provider of chicken, turkey, pork, beef, lamb, veal, eggs, deli and retail food service. There are tremendous technological advances all around us, just not on our block. High speed and Internet were never used in the same sentence until Sharedband brought their solution to our attention. By using Sharedband, we now have reliable redundant connections that could not be achieved by one connection alone. We were able to bond two T1’s from different carriers together for a single faster connection. I think the greatest asset is being able to utilize all of the circuits simultaneously for seamless failover without the expense of standby lines.
