Think of it this way..
Yes - you have two "pipes" coming into your machine, each of these "pipes"
even comes from the same "supplier".. BUT..

You have one computer and (by design) that one computer can request stuff
from either "Pipe1" or "Pipe2", but not both at the same time.

While there are dial-up modems/applications out there for them that allows
you to "bind" the two modems together, to my knowledge there is nothing like
that for Network Cards... Yet.

I can see the reasoning.. For a quick example, I can get 5Mbit down,
768Kbit up for $49.99/month. If I wanted 10Mbit down and 1.5Mbit up, the
price would do more than double - that is for sure. So being able to link
my two connections together - even with a one-time hardware purchase or
software purchase would be FANTASTIC. And if there is such a thing out
there - publicize it here - but I do not know about it.
