| Comp-U-Plus has the 'NETGEAR FVS124GNA PROSAFE VPN FIREWALL 25
| WITH 4 GIGABIT LAN AND DUAL WAN PORTS' for $140.

| http://netgear.com/products/details/FVS124G.php

All looks great on the Netgear except...
Performance Features:
· Throughput: Up to 11.5 Mbps WAN-to-LAN, up to 2.1 Mbps for 3DES throughput

I know some cable companies are upto 10Mb/s already.

How much of your traffic is going to be VPN ?

I'm not thinking about the VPN part. I'm thinking w/o VPN.
11.5Mb/s may be OK Today, but Tomorrow ???
Two 6Mb/s cable WAN links would max. it out.

Take a look at the description. It talks about using it's own DNS to get
inbound connections to use one path or the other. It will not, for
example, split a large file transfer over both paths in that situation.
So, if you get one DNS request that tells the remote site, to use path "A"
and then start a large transfer. the next request will be told to use path
"B". And the 3rd request will point back to A again. Now if both the
connections to A are large transfers and the single one to B is small,
you'll wind up with most of the data going via A. This is not true load
balancing, which should equally spread the traffic across the two paths
(assuming equal bandwidth). You can also use this sort of device between
two points to load balance, provided you have one of those boxes at each
end.

There are routers that will do this automatically.
