Widget to join two Broadband connections?

Is there some device which will allow me to join two broadband connections
together (on separate phone lines) and allow me to combine the
upload/download speeds for faster internet access?

Thanks

it isn't quite that simple but there are devices which will aggregate
two connections.

A simpler and more effective way is to get a higher specification ADSL
package such as one of the premium Max products, which offer twice the
upstream.

For proper bonding, you (generally) need an ISP that supports MLPP -
Nildram, for instance. Then you need, either a Cisco router (or another
which does the same job) -- eg. a 1841 or 2841 -- or a cheap PC with a
couple of ADSL modems, running a linux distro (IIRC, there's a
pre-configured CD you can use). Pricey, but fun

You might try searching for the Firebrick (I think) from AAISP if you have
500 quid to spare... I did see that Edimax had a device to allow a LAN to
use from 2 to 4 WAN connections, and you can do it without any gadgets, if
you have soem traffic going to one router and some to the other. Peter M.
