I've absolutely no idea. It wouldn't surprise me if they do but I expect the quickest way to get an answer will be to give support a ring on Monday.

As Griff says the only one I can think of is Cerberus networks, never used them so don't know what they are like.

Cerberus Networks use the Be/O2 network hence they're able to provide Line Bonding as well.

You can just imagine line bonding with BT, one line with an IP profile of 135 and the other at 5500. >:D

No problem mate. I didn't mean to sound "know it all" if that's how it came across.

Don't think they use BE/02 at all but could be wrong.

http://www.pro-net.co.uk/connectivity/bonded-adsl.php is just one company offering bonding, there are plenty if you Google them, reading that you can use any ISP with the bonding service, whatever it is going to add up to a fair monthly bill.

You can always balance 2 ISP's through a router to get redundancy.

They're another ISP that uses the Be network. (For some services, line bonding being one of them)
