Combine 2 BT lines to speed up?

3mph

Moving house, old one had Virgin and we always got at least 140Mbs but where we are trying to move to just has BT and doesn’t have Infinity as no space available in local cabinet and apparently unlikely to be so for some time. BT reckon 6 – 15 MB with minimum 3.

Not sure if I am talking nonsense here but if I rented 2 lines can they be combined to increase the speed?

Or would we end up somehow having to duplicate everything with someone using one line / router and another person using another, and indeed would this help much anyhow?

It's possible, it's called line bonding: http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/adsl-bonding

Mister G - ouch it doesn't does it.
So maybe when we finally move I wont tell anyone else in the family the WiFi passwords.

There's a cheaper way.

Load balancing as opposed to bonding. You still need to broadband connections, but you connect them both to one load balancing router.

Or, if you have multiple people in the house, have two routers with some users connected to one line and others connected to the other to spread the load.
