Anyone had success in bonding 2 or more UMTS modem?
I’m tryng this on an alix board.

Try MLPPP and if it does not work try Policy Routing, and be aware of this: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/firewall-connection-remove-seems-broken-again-v3-15-v3-16/24637/1 (read entire topic).
Hi,
I’ve got a similar problem where the DSL ISP does not support MLPPP bonding. I’d rather not load balance of the lines because I haven’t had much luck with it and I’d also love to increase the possible bandwidth speed and not be limited to the top speed of a single line.
I’m also buying bandwidth in a datacentre (200Mbps) so I’m going to try to bond EOIP tunnels between a routerboard connected to the DSL modems and another routerboard in the datacentre (one EOIP tunnel, from the DSL location to the data centre location per DSL line).
The only thing is that it will increase latency (the extra time between the DSL modems and the data centre, looks like 30ms, and also I’ll have to allocate twice the bandwidth that I’m hoping to achieve (because of the route into and out of the datacentre).
Still if I factor in the double bandwidth cost hopefully I’ll be able to bond DSL links together and get a single bigger resilient pipe? I’ll try it in about 4 weeks time.

Oh my god to what BS customers have to go, with the current state of MT load balancing?!
This is BAD practice, You could experiment with it, but I do not recommend it.
We need working load balancing solutions from MikroTik Latvia. I hope they assign a task force of engineers to the issue Monday first thing in the morning!
Thanks all for answer.
my need is to have a mobile connection to make streaming, i don’t need more than 128kb/s and my system can work with high latency, but i need something more reliable than a single umts link.
I’ll go further in experimenting.
