As described two separate 10MB links and , and asked for details, here is the practical reality and options.

You cannot simply "sum" two different ISP links so a single download runs twice as fast without extra help. There are two realistic paths: 1) load balancing (aggregate throughput across many sessions or devices) and 2) true bonding (make one session span multiple links). Load balancing is what most consumer dual‑WAN routers do: they distribute different connections over each link so overall household throughput increases, but a single TCP download will stay roughly at one line speed. See the pfSense multi‑WAN guide for how routers handle this in practice (pfSense Multi‑WAN docs).

True bonding (where one stream is split across links) requires support at both ends or a bonding/VPN service. Technologies like Multipath TCP or commercial solutions (SpeedFusion, bonding VPNs) can join links at the packet level, but they add cost and complexity and typically increase latency. For background on how bonding differs from simple aggregation, see channel bonding and Multipath TCP (Channel bonding, Multipath TCP).

Concrete next steps: decide whether you need aggregated throughput across many devices (buy a dual‑WAN or use pfSense/Asus/DrayTek routers) or a single faster session (evaluate bonding services or MPTCP solutions). Measure each line to confirm you actually have 10 Mbps (bits vs bytes). Expect extra setup for NAT, port forwarding and inbound services when using multiple public IPs. If budget allows, compare buying a single higher‑speed plan from one ISP versus the hardware/service cost of combining two lines.

No you can't join them to form a 20mbps internet speed. Can you provide us with more details? What are you currently using for internet now?
