Is it possible combine 2 different internet connections from 2 different ISPs?

Home » Networking » Small Business and Home Networking

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.

you can combine any tipe of connections no matter what ISP provides tham and thay do not have to be even from same ISP but ther is a spacial equepmint needed for that witch is called MAHA INTERIGATOR witch is provided by MAHA PC INC.
as far as i know thay are the onlyone with this technology and Maha Interigators are not expensive at all
how ever you can only buy it from them and it is not avalible in any stores
you can se exactly what they offer by viziting www.mahapc.com
hope that I have bin a help to you all

yes it is possible to combine, its called bonding adsl but you will also require a unit to install the links into. visit xrio for how this works

what 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.
