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 don't bond - it's load balanced. The only application I use that will utilise full bandwidth is Usenet - there's 30-40 connections that go across both connections to get the full speed. So a single download goes at full speed.
