Multi-homing on OSX
Ivan | Wed, 2009-11-11 09:01Has anybody successfully combined two internet connections into one at home? Do you have any experience in doing this kind of setup for OSX?
Thank you!

Yes - there's some good info on it here (macosxhints.com):
Thanks! I'm afraid this is not exactly what I'm looking for. I want to a way to use two internet connections at the same time adding up the speed of both into one stream.
Just a thought, wouldn't this be handled by your router? My guess would be that you need some kind of "multi-homing router" that will split packets between two lines.
If it was handled by your network card you'd need to be connected to two networks simultaneously and use software of some kind to handle splitting the "in/output".
You could always move to Yokohama.

LOL. Yokohama sounds good. :)
i'm sure there's something out there that will do this. it's not unlike what ISDN used to do (take two 64k channels and make a 128k connection). but it's probably not something you can easily do on a consumer/residential level.
something like this:

You need to search for 'channel bonding'.

If you want to improve the performance of your current connection, and avoid problems of FTP upload blocking download you could look at this:

it does throttling and empty ACK prioritization.
