I mentioned the word NEED because of m47een's comment about having two connections for their combined upstream capabilities. I quite understand having two connections in order to get information quicker as your OP mentioned. Having faster connections to get things quicker without trying to download the entire internet is a use that some people do not seem to comprehend.

I used the word NEED because if having two connections just for the higher combined upload capability would suggest that the user will regularly be using more than the 512kb that one connection gives. It would soon saturate upstream bandwidth if there were several doing this.

Whilst I agree with Ignition that there is a thread for capping I thought that I had made a comment that was in context to what this thread was about. I don't agree with him posting off topic personal attacks on other members in his posts though.
