Combining Two Connections

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to combine two internet connections?

For example, I have a connection of 10 Mbps down, and 1 Mbps up, and another connection of 20 Mbps down, and 2 Mbps up.

Is it possible for me to combine them to get 30 Mbps down, and 3 Mbps up? Would it help if they were the same speed?

The up-link balancing kind of does that, so over your network you get 30 Mbps worth, but shared between devices.

I'm just not sure how the up-link balancing shares the up links. Does it

1) Dedicates an ISP to an internal IP, so that computer always uses that same ISP.
2) Or does it split sessions, so you could download 2 files at the same time one at 10 the other at 20

The default is 'Persistence by: Connection', so each download could wind up using a different ISP. Of course,you can choose different persistence in a Multipath rule and cause the condition in 1) above.
