Just watched something on Tech TV detailing the speedbooster "extreme" technology. Aside from needing "extreme" nic cards and an extreme router to actually utilize it- they were quite concerned with the fact that the band that utlizes the technology bleeds and crosses-over with other devices on 2.4 gigahertz frequencies.

That explains it better than I can. Suffice to say- channel bonding theoretically creates more interferance- so unless your out on a farm...

But if you really need all that bandwidth you should be connecting through an ethernet card anyway. (If you can)
