I did think of "bonding" mine but it would require a lot of Resources to pull off, I've done it before on slow DSL lines and it worked reasonably well but it tends to be CPU intensive on faster connections, prob need X86 boxes at each end.
Then of course there's the bandwidth requirements at the end doing the bonding, It would be doing ~378Mbit/s in + 378Mbit/s out (excluding overheads) depending on how the bandwidth is billed and how much your provider charges for bandwidth usage that could hurt.

I'm currently running my ASUS RT-AC68U in Dual WAN mode with two incoming ISP circuits. The router doesn't bond (bonding routers are damn expensive).
Later today I'll set rules as to which of my two wired computers associates with which ISP circuit. Then we'll see if the two simultaneous speed tests show max for each circuit.
