Because of where I live I can only get 1mb broadband.
So I'm thinking what if I get a second line for the house (we used to have one, but it's been disconnected), then get another modem or a special modem and special software to share both broadband lines as one?
In theory it should work and I would be able to get a 2mb connection.
Does anyone have any information on this or how I could achieve it?
Cheers.
Check this video out for a bit of a demonstration how it can be done with cable modems:

Hi there, Actually, you can combine multiple Internet lines (eg including a cable modem) to make a faster and more reliable one. The Internet lines can be different technologies and can come from different providers, and it is not necessary to have special software (e.g. MLPPP) or hardware at the provider premises - they don't even have to know you are bonding their line to another! For example, you could bond together four ADSL lines at 6Mbps down/ 768k up to create a 24Mbps down/ 3Mbps up connection, even for a single file transfer or a streaming video source. This is a lot cheaper than a bonded T1 line, for example. For more details, see www.mushroomnetworks.com/product.aspx?product_id=1009or www.networkworld.com/newsletters/accel/2008/0218netop1.html

Cool. I'm definately going to look into this. Seeing as I get free Broadband from work I will have to get it back from Debbies house and set it up. Thanks for the advice

Yes, you can bond two 1Mbps lines for 2Mbps connection with broadband bonding routers. These are devices that bond your lines with a technology called "broadband bonding". Search the web for that term of many resources. The beauty of this technology is that you don't need any cooperation or coordination from the service providers. Broadband Bonding is different than MLPPP as there is no device required at the service provider side. The same technology can even be used to bond together cellular phone modems, check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0_Cq89aUd0

Hi yeah I looked into mushroom networks, however you have to subscribe to them and it's not cheap. You can't just simply buy the hardware to make it work. What a shame if you could just buy the box & plugg it in I would definately go for it, but with the subscription cost it's just not worth it
