I’m not very knowledgeable about this stuff, but I have 2 phone lines, each with ADSL internet access, if I connect them to one switch, will my LAN have the speed of the sum of both? Thanks.

Nope.
If you want DOUBLE speed, you should get a quote on advanced services. Contact both your DSL provider and the Cable high speed provider.
Also, look up the speeds in your area at http://www.dslreports.com

For this you need a special type of router that can utilize both broadband connections. They come in two broad categories: Load balancing, in which the router uses whichever line has the least traffic at the moment, and Combined, in which the router sends/receives over both lines at once (there are also models that can do either one). Without the proper hardware, this can't be done.

nope it is not that simpel, in linux u can set up these kinda things, but the way u described it won't work, ur connected pc will each make use of different adsl, in general what u descirb is not such a good idea as it might result in packet collisions

No, that would make a parallel connection, not a serial.
