Summary: Connecting two different internet connections is technically possible, but not easily and not likely to accomplish what you have in mind.
Is it possible combine 2 different internet connections from 2 different ISPs?
Technically, yes, anything's possible. :-). In reality though, this is usually left to the realm of high-end routers; there's no pre-packaged solution for multiple computers that I'm aware of. A single computer can sometimes make use of multiple connections which is similar to having two network cards.

Posted by: harinder at October 4, 2007 7:53 AMwhat about with wireless connections? i sometimes can see 20 hotspots from my house. is there a router that will let me use all 20 at the same? i assume that they would have to link to a server somewhere to have a single IP address. it seems to me if someone came up with a router like this it would be extremely popular since there are so many open wifi connections these days in urban areas. and if I do the same amount of surfing I would only be using a little bit of each connection therefore not slowing down any one connection being used by someone else.
