Is webramp just another name for shotgun modem

Understand first that I dont actually have either one. I'm waiting on cable (coming soon...)

A shotgun takes two modems and *one* isp that is specially set up to handle blending the data streams back together *before* its sent to the net.

A webramp is a router. It can use multiple modems and *multiple* isp's that each take their own seperate path through the internet to reach the destination. There is a lot more redundancy there. However I do have some doubts about how well really it can work in a situation where the data is streaming continuously from a single location.
