Hello,
if i am correct u want to merge the two dsl modems into 1 then there is a solution available now.
The great WOWWEB PRO software i am using it on windows xp as a service ...

some features of it includes..

WOOWEB-PRO is a router and firewall software providing a solution at the corporate level for outgoing and incoming Internet access - See WOOWEB V2 for home use. It runs in any PC on Windows 2000/XP/Vista and supports the most popular Internet connection types such as routers, cable modems, ADSL modems (PPPoE, USB PPPoA), analog or ISDN modems.

When installed on the computer that drives the modem(s), it behaves as a multiple-port router and enables all networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously, whatever their type and operating system.

The WOOWEB-PRO firewall provides a strong protection against Internet attacks. It can be configured and it gives information details about the intrusion attempts. There is no need for an extra networked firewall.

WOOWEB-PRO accepts incoming connections. However, the access to your servers is tightly controlled by the rules you set up. These rules permit to forward the remote Internet users to the right servers, only to the right applications, at no risk for other computers. In addition, all accesses are recorded in log files.

WOOWEB-PRO V4 can manage up to 16 Internet connections in dedicated, balancing, or fail over mode. The global bandwidth can be distributed evenly to all users, or shared out according to configurable per-user rules, guaranteeing a minimum or a maximum percentage of the global throughput.

I'm living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm currently moving from 2048/256 cable internet to potentially 24Mb down/1.3Mb up through ADSL2+. Here it is getting to the stage that dial up is more expensive than broadband, and having dialup is frowned upon due to the high availability of broadband. I know someone, who's parents are so old fashioned, they won't upgrade from Dial up, even so broadband is cheaper.

In my transition of providers, I've considered having a dual internet connection for a month, just for the novelty.

I was thinking of buying two services DSL which offers me 1.5 up and 1.5 down and Cable which offers me 8 MB down and 785k up. Could I use a load blancer and make all my up traffc go up the DSL and down traffic to go though the cable?

I just looked on-line and it seems that there are now load balancing routers that appear affordable

I'd just like to point out that not everyone in Australia considers 512/128 adequate. I'm currently on a 1500/256 and a bit annoyed that I can't get 12000/1000 because my phone line does not run direct to an exchange - it's on a subexchange. The 1500 down is fine, it's the 256up that's too slow.

Well... it can be done and others have mentioned the load-balancing firewall. The missing bit is being able to adjust the routing tables on the "far side" of the connection... it is possible (and is provided for), but most ISP's won't let you mess with them because if you make a mistake, you can wind up with things like "all internet traffic bound for Italy goes through my house" (urg!), so most ISP's won't let you mess with the routing tables.

You might be able to explain what you want and get them to put the rules in though...

IE on one, Firefox on the other: no, no way that I can think of. If there is, it's most certainly not easy.

Chris: I can answer that last one: never! :-)

Seriously, though, I think we all (or at least 'us geeks') expand our usage to exceed our capacity, no matter what we have. And the same is true of available content and applications.

5 years ago things like youtube and google video didn't exist. iTunes wasn't in the picture. And I wasn't trying to remote-manage my wife's business across the net. Now speeds are making such things possible. I can do all of that today with my 768/128, it's true. But I'd do them faster, and start doing some new things, with a faster connection.

If you had 2 connection, can you assign each each software or program for each of the connection? for example, firefox browser using connection 1 and IE using connection 2, instead of combining the two.

A bit off topic I know, but I noticed you said "My DSL is limited to 768k down and 128k up. Nowadays that's slow.." I live in Australia, and while speeds greater then that are avaliable in my area, your connection is considered very good. My connection of 512K/128K is considered unecessarly fast, especially when a lot of people are using dial up (56K). Here most people pray for speeds greater then the 128K broadband average. Why arn't people satisfied with connections 10 times faster then what was avaliable 5 years ago? What has tecnology done to civilisation? A bit over the top I know, but I think you know what I'm getting at.

When will people be satisified with what they have.

There aren't any extremely simple ways to do this, but pfSense (www.pfsense.org), a free open source firewall, does have multi-WAN capabilities so if you have an old PC and a few network cards, you can accomplish this entirely with free software. You can use policy-based routing, to say send HTTP out one connection, mail out another connection, P2P traffic to one connection, etc. and can also do load balancing.

Not exactly a breeze for a novice to setup, but not insurmountable either.
