    Hi,

    I have a 3g wireless router connected to an o2 3g broadband usb pen. I use this for internet access. However, Im wondering..... as the transfer speeds aren't the greatest with these 3g broadband sticks, would it be possible to connect two o2 3g broadband sticks into my wireless 3g router (via a usb), and use the two sticks simultaneously to boost the transfer speed?

    Cheers.

    DJT

    No, for several reasons, the least of which not being the fact that two modems will never boost speed, but in fact half it. All modems in any particular cell share the same available bandwidth. Putting two modems on the one network, side by side, simply halves the available connection speed, which you are then going to try and put back together in the router. This will just result in the same (or lower) speed you have now, at twice the cost.
