Everyday life in the Philippines: a photoblog by Anton Sheker

Since Blogalicious was somehow transformed into a announcement and new aggregator for photo related events and for my other online projects, i decided to make a new, purely photoblog that will be using my celphone photos of scenes of everyday life in this island we call home.

i will try to keep it purely celphone photos so i get a better raw street photography feel to the whole site and so I can do mobile photo blogging on the go with my globe visibility and smart 3G…

Come and see how I see everday life in the Philippines…. http://www.photo.net.ph/everydaylife

Shotgun experiment with a mac using 2 internet connections

May 1st, 2007 Administrator Posted in Around Cebu, Globe Visibility, Main, Smart 3G, Speed Tests, mac experiments No Comments »

i must be really bored now because am doing experiments on my laptop..  This experiment is going shotgun with 2 internet connections at the same time. Before we continue let us define what kind of shotgun am talking about..

Shotgun, when capitalized, refers to the Shotgun modem-bonding technology. Shotgun technology bonds the data streams of two modems together to work intelligently over two ordinary phone lines (my experiment was using internet from a usb umts modem and bluetooth connection to a umts 3G phone) and enables consumers to obtain Internet connections at speeds of up to 112 Kbps if using to 56 Kbps lines…  and before you say anything.. i admit this was an 80s technology.. :)

At first i thought that i could link the two lines considering I had some action in the connection for both bluetooth and umts modems.

Connection using the smart 3G sim.. yes it says configuration using globe 3G HSDPA but the same configuration works on the SMART 3G Network..

Here is the connection of bluetooth using the nokia e61 and Globe Visibilty line..

Globe Telecom Internet Connection

My hopes went down the drain when i did a little research… and found out that …

“OS X will pick whatever connection works and stick with it. Some
traffic will divide up but probably not in a way that improves bandwidth
much. One solution is manually creating static routes. Another
solution is to purchase a service that will multiplex your packets over
two connections, though they were mostly popular in the dialup days.”

Am not sure why both connections had data streams coming in and out.. am wondering if it is possible.. does anyone know if this will work? or has anyone developed this software? They say it is possible in the forums but say it is a very long and tedious experiment just to share 2 connections that are not even worth the trouble.. especially that everyone seems to be using broadband now.. might be better to go leech a an open connection? :)

Who knows that maybe the technology or software exists to balance the load of sharing the internet connections.. maybe someone can show me the way? or at least point me in the right direction? Ill be here for a few more days and if you get me the news before then i would be grateful..  in my earlier test. the first connection was running 37kbps and the other one was running 25Kbps..  tested on speedtest.ph

wishful thinking…. till my next experiment!
