Quick Quick, What's that program that lets you use two broadbands at once?

I have a DSL and Cable line, and I need to know how to utilize it so it uses both dsl and cable line at the same time so I can surf and download faster.

With XP you can bridge two NICs together into a single connection. Kinda like the shotgun technology for dialup modems.

I asked this question here before and was told that there is no cheap way to do this.

i just tried that on mine- bridging a wifi signal i'm getting with my local DSL, but the bandwidth test has the exact same result, even though independently they're both about as fast as what i'm getting when they're bridged.

You'd need a multiplexing router, eh? Those aren't necessarily cheap.

This is what I have always understood network bridging to mean:

...nothing to do with using two internet gateways at once, everything to do with passing traffic back and forth between two different network segments.

it doesn't help downloading unless you use a downloading program that pulls from half the file from each server.
