Bridging two internet connections
 |
I am planning on working from home and I need a consistent and fast internet connection. The broadband in my area is not that great, so I am considering installing another ethernet card and bridging two internet connections. Is this even possible? If I bridge a 6mps cable and a 4mps dsl will I be connected at 10mps? I need this connection to be very reliable.
Thanks in advance for help and suggestions.

If I connect 2 3.0 Ghz PCs together, will I get a 6.0 Ghz machine?
No and no. Some dial-up ISPs allow you to use several phone lines to increase the speed, but they have to support splitting requests, and unless your ISP is some really special one, you're not going to be able to do it.
Not to say that you couldn't have 2 connections, but it wouldn't really help you since data has to be sent and recieved through one of the connections, not both.
