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.

You're trying to connect a single system using dual network ports to increase surfing speed? - Okay ....

So, what's your connection now? Most of you bandwith limitations are designated by your ISP. You can usually get faster surfing with Broadband Cable Modems (as apposed to DSL and Dial Up). Next up from there would be a T1 or higher which most people cannot afford unless they are a business model. I'm surfing at (100mpbs) max. I cannot do more withouth having my ISP set me up for more bandwidth.

Here's an example of some network usage on 100mbps.....

If you have a single 100mbps connection coming in, and 3 users at the same time on the network, one is downloading mp3's, the other one using the internet to check email, and another playing games... those will all create network congestion, and your 100mbps that you pulled might now only be like 70 or whatever X amount less for you... if you are the only one on your network and you are "hard wired" or utilizing your network connection port, you should be getting 100mbps if nothing else is taking place. (assuming you are broadband cable).....

The best thing to do is talk to you ISP, find out what you can do to increase your bandwidth.

you're attempting to connect a unmarried device employing twin community ports to develop surfing speed? - ok .... So, what's your connection now? maximum of you bandwith barriers are detailed via your ISP. you could in many cases get swifter surfing with Broadband Cable Modems (as apposed to DSL and Dial Up). next up from there could be a T1 or greater which maximum persons won't be able to arise with the funds for except they seem to be a employer variety. i'm surfing at (100mpbs) max. i won't be able to do greater withouth having my ISP set me up for greater bandwidth. this is an occasion of a few community utilization on 100mbps..... in case you have a unmarried 100mbps connection coming in, and 3 customers on an identical time on the community, one is downloading mp3's, the different one employing the internet to analyze digital mail, and yet another enjoying video games... those will all create community congestion, and your 100mbps which you pulled might now purely be like 70 or regardless of X volume much less for you... once you are the only one on your community and you're "not basic under pressure" or employing your community connection port, you should be getting 100mbps if not the rest is going on. (assuming you're broadband cable)..... the best element to do is seek advice from you ISP, locate out what you're able to do to develop your bandwidth.

Not possible.

You can have two different connection (dsl and cable) and use 2 different browers each using only one connection but it would not speed up your browsing. But not 2 different connections with one browser.
