Is there a way to connect to internet using 2 different connections from a single pc to boost surfing speed? Long back when there was 14k modems was norm i did read about a company which marketed a modem which used 2 telephone lines to give you 28k speed! Those days 28K was like today’s T3 or better connection! I have on my disposal one GPRS connection and a 56K dialup modem connection
Those old “bonded” connections worked fine if you were connecting to the same ISP with both connections. I did it for years before we got cable Internet where I live.
Connecting to 2 separate ISPs won’t aggregate your connection speed, though. Sorry.

Your computer will only be able to use one signal at a time, as you will be getting one IP from one connection and a different one from the second, and they won’t be able to run at the same time, let alone work off of each other.

That (modem trick) only works if your connecting to the same service provider POP.
You can only have a single IP address. You have to be able to run multilink PPP over the connection.
The modem thing your thinking about was actually an ISDN T/A. The multilink PPP ran on the modem, not in windows. The logical (IP) connection looked like a single connection, when under the covers there were 2 connections sharing the load.
