One of my business customers got me involved in a residential issue and I'm getting no results from CenturyLink.
The location had an existing adsl2 but they were maxing out the downstream bandwidth pretty regularly. The market doesn't support vdsl, nor does it support bonding, so I suggested they get a second adsl2 circuit and I'd just use and EdgeRouter to bond the two WAN connections.
The odd thing is that when the 2nd modem is connected to the phone line and powered up it causes the 1st to drop sync. 2nd never syncs.
If you disconnect the 1st modem, and only connect the 2nd, it syncs.
These are delivered on separate pairs to the NID.
We opened a ticket for a vendor meet on the 20th, but the CL tech showed up 4 hours early and I wasn't available to drive the 45 min to the location at that time. The local tech gave me some BS about signal fine but there's voltage on the line and then he closed the ticket even after he told me he'd escalate the issue.
If any one from CL can help I can PM any additional information like the service address and prior ticket number.
