I have been looking into this recently and am interested to know if NTL will allow two home cable connections to the same address. I was considering bonding the two connections together however im not sure if NTL support MultiLink PPP.

What the Linksys RV042 does is team the connections together so in effect you will still only get a maximum connection speed of 10mbit. Its more for efficiency and fail over than anything else.

Bonding the connections will get you 20mbit as it "bonds" the two connections and uses them as one. the Linksys RV042 use both connections individually thats how it load balances them, so you can download two files both at a maximum of 10mbits.
