Is it possible to combine the speeds of two ISPs?

Ok here's the deal. I have Verizon DSL that is comming into one network card on my computer. I can also catch a wireless network from another Wireless network card from within my computer. What application or way can I combine these two networks so that the bandwidth is "Load Balanced" between them.

Wow, that sounds like that would work having two seperate internet connections through wired and wireless. I hope to learn if this could work just for one computer.

Many around here can catch another Signal with a Wireless Card, and in most cases using it is considered Signal Theft. :shocked:

In any case it can Not be done with End-User hardware/software, the only way to combine two sources is to have to independent Broadband Modem feeding into a Dual WAN Router.

Even then, you still won't get but the full speed of only one link at a time. It doesn't "combine" them, it's just simple load balancing.

The only thing you would see a speed up in would be things that use multiple connections. Like torrents.
Downloading just normal files via http would be only as fast as one connection.

You can't combine your connections to double the speed. That has to be done on the ISP's end, all you can do is load balance.
