I was originally offered a 10MBPS pair bonded connection which was a simple way for me to have a usable backup connection to my xfinity line, LTE is a terrible option in my rural area, along with the fact im in a mobile home.

I ordered service owning my own modem however it required the install from a tech because of the pair-bonded. Well, once the tech rolled he explained that pair bonding simply wasnt possible in this neighborhood and that my only option would be a 3MBPS line because there is no speed tiers in between that and the 10M tier. So i asked about a second individual DSL line and he shrugged, explaining the efforts necessary to obtain a second pair to the house. Thats when i was convinced the guy didnt want to do anything but get a dial tone to the side of the house. However, i went ahead with the 3M service, and figured i could work my way into a faster tier as an existing/new customer. My line statistics are plenty capable of more speed than 3M.

Anyhow, after a long involved conversation over the course of 3 weeks with the TalkToUs department, i ended up with a separate 3M line being installed in which i use in a round robin load balancing fashion and is served through my network as a backup connection. The Plans cost $50/each taxes included and the install for the first line was $15, however the install for the second line was $129.

Not sure if i would recommend the service unless its all that is available for a terrestrial connection, or if you just like to toy with DSL like i do.
