A friend of mine was involved with a company in the UK called SharedBand, that does exactly this. www.sharedband.com

However, I have my misgivings on whether this would actually work to boost your speed.

Does anyone here perhaps know how Telkom's contention ratios work?

I've always suspected that adding an additional ADSL line won't help, because if I download at full speed from both, it's likely that the speed on each would be halved.

I've heard that ADSL contention ratios are in the region of 40:1 and that it's per exchange.

Router OS supports load balancing if I remember correctly.

Thanks Gunny.

Though I suspect load balancing won't help much if your aim is to max out both ADSL lines.

I'll speak with my mate at SharedBAnd, though I suspect BT ADSL might behave differently.

Just use a dual WAN ADSL modem but be careful when choosing the manufacturer. We have tested some that turned out to be highly unstable. With a dual WAN ADSL modem you double your throughput.

If your carrier supports MLPPP then you can do it with mikrotik.

Just take note that this was only implemented in ROS 3.10, and you carrier must support it.
