Combining Wireless and cable modem bandwidth?

[tallest1]

Okay, here is my situation:

In two weeks a friend and I are moving into a decent 2BR apartment. Being the techies that we are, we want some FAST internet but, it seems that our tenants were "nice" enough to add wireless connectivity to the entire complex [and thus increase rent $30 a month]. Personally, we don't trust wireless much and want to go the cable modem route. Here is whats offered:

Express: 1500 Kbps 128 Kbps $39.95

High Speed: 3000 Kbps 256 Kbps $59.95

We're going to do one of those two plans but it would be a waste to not use the wireless internet somehow. Is there anyway that we can combine bandwidths and distribute it to 3-4 computers? We're mere students, so the less expensive the method, the better.

Thanks!

Just a suggestion but if you're "mere students" and less expensive is better why don't you try the wireless before you decide its no good. If its setup right it might work just fine.

i'd say wait it out and see how the wireless setup goes...if you guys are gamers you can always through a switch in there and connect up your pc's on a LAN

Without ISP cooperation there is no real straight double. However the following solutions make the use of two connections more efficient.

The following are the two options available for Ethernet:

Pro800turbo Firewall & Internet Sharing Box - 2 Modem Ports that Load Balance 2 Broadband Connections.

Scroll down, and look at the picture, it is awesome:

FatPipe® Xtreme aggregates any combination of T3, T1, DSL and/or wireless connections to create a virtual FatPipe.

I would love it if my apartment complex next year has wireless.

Hi all I'm the room mate. Those two look really sweet, that router's a bit expensive >_<. But I can't find a price on that FatPipe, any ideas?
