      Hey guys, so I have 2 DSL connections each 50/10 Mbps which both support MLPPP and I have a separate login's for each modem. I have the modems in bridge mode so no login info is posted in them .

      WAN - ue0
      LAN- em0

      I then follow these steps:

      1 Do NOT create two separate network connections – no WAN and OPT1 – stick to just the WAN connection
        2 In pfSense, once you have installed the OS itself, sign in to the web UI, then click on Interfaces -> Assign
        3 Click on the PPPs tab and make sure there is only one PPPoE connection – delete the second if it exists.
        4 Edit that one connection and make sure that you select both of the appropriate link interfaces.
        5 Make sure that the username and password on that page corresponds to the account that has MLPPP setup on it – this is wildly important!
        6 Save, go to the Interfaces -> Assign page, then make sure that the WAN interfaces uses the PPPoE port.
        7 Go to the Interfaces -> WAN page, then DISABLE the connection. Save the changes, then enable it again.
        8 Hit up speedtest.net and validate that you have the combined speed.

      Now the internet comes up but its only going at about as fast as one DSL line, like its only going at ~48Mbps rather than 85-90Mbps Any idea what I am doing wrong? What I do not understand is I have 2 logins, I know where to put one of them as indicated above  but what about the other what do I do with that?

        Your post says @cruisx:

        4 Edit that one connection and make sure that you select both of the appropriate link interfaces.

        but the hardware you have listed is sufficient for only one modem. You need another NIC to connect to the other modem!

        Are these DSL connections from the same provider?

        Please post the PPP log - mask out passwords and other authentication information. You should be able to access the PPP log at Status -> System Logs, click on PPP tab.

            which both support MLPPP and I have a separate login's for each modem.

            If this is true then you don't have MLPPP..

            You need to contact your provider and tell them you want to be set up as MLPPP.

            Assuming ADSL?
