Multiple Broadband Connections at Home?

Another Web Monkey asks: "I am a typical geek. After working all day on the computer, I come home and get right back on the internet. But unlike my corporate office, I don't have multiple internet connections. I know there are others not happy with a single DSL/Cable connection, but can't afford T1's. Some dual broadband routers are starting to appear on the market. I want to know what others are doing to satisfy, even if temporarily, their cravings for faster connections at home? Has anyone tried these routers, or have another solution?"

Won't work as some people might expect

Several internet connections can be used to spread the load of different logical connections (two downloads for example), but unless the provider actively supports it, you can't use them to speed up one download. Download managers can help by splitting the file into separately downloadable parts, but it won't be "like one connection". Providers will most likely not support "broadband channel bundling" because they could simply configure the broadband interface to the double speed to achieve the same effect (but they don't).
