The absolute best way to do this would be to get an old PC, like a Pentium 3 for example, and install Linux or FreeBSD. You can then have the 2 external interfaces (one for ADSL one for cable) and one internal for the LAN. With some clever use of setting routes you could do what you wanted.

Of course, the above assumes you know about networking and using a *nix based system. I don't know exactly how to do this myself, but i do know it is possible and is often used by hosting companies etc to balance load.
