Hi everyone

This is not specifically a linux question - other than the server 
discussed is running Ubuntu.

We currently have this small Ubuntu server connected via Xtra broadband.
We'd like to get a faster connection speed.
(The server is well set-up with SAS raid, 4Gb RAM, PHP accelerators etc.)

Speaking with your friend and mine, Telecom, they have quoted:

Pricing for 1MB (1024CIR/1024PIR)
Installation: $1430.00
10GB - Monthly Frame Access: $523
Mixed Usage: $336
Total: $859.00 per month
Overage (per GB) - $69.00
+GST
Add that up and it's about $12,000 for a year! (for a tiny 10Gb allowance pcm).
:-(

However, at the moment we have two phone lines, one of which is not 
connected.

So the question is...

Can we link TWO Xtra broadband accounts to one router/server to double 
the speed?

I don't know enough about 'networking' to understand whether this is 
possible or how it would be done :-(

Any ideas?  Or is it just a stupid question?

Cheers, Stuart.
