EDIT: Could a moderator please pin this thread - many people may find it useful!
Alot of people have asked me how I do this and I feel you should all know (many of you already do).
Baisically you'll set your RASPPPoE (http://www.raspppoe.com/) to allow 2 or more endpoints (in other words this lets you connect two accounts on one pc without windows saying the modem is already in use or whatever it normally says...).
Then you set each connection up with a dns suffix (i used 'local' and 'international' for each account (being capped and uncapped respectively)).
You will then have a standard windows batch (routes.bat) file which is run after the two accounts are connected successfuly - it contains the following:
I however have a second batch file (steam.bat) for when I log into STEAM (an online game launcher that requires you play under the same IP that you logged into their authentication servers with - which happens to be international, under the 207.x.x.x range):
ROUTE DELETE 207.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 fragtion.international METRIC 1
ROUTE ADD 207.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 fragtion.local METRIC 2
Once Steam is in of course, i re-run the first batch file so that the 207 range is placed back onto the international route.
Hope this is clear and useful for you guys - I know it may seem complicated to some of you, but it certainly has worked wonders for me. I can do torrents, gaming, irc etc all month long (the stuff that eats up most of my bandwidth) and still be uncapped because my international account is totally seperate (two different IP's - you can test it by tracerouting a local ip and then an international IP and see how your first hop differs); so that saves a heckload of time and effort of having to disconnect and reconnect accounts according to the task at hand...
If you cant get it right, but do have two or more accounts I STRONGLY advise you find out how to do this because its something I wouldnt be able to live without - I know how it feels to be capped;
If theres anything else you'd like to know (eg: setting the number of wan endpoints, assigning a dns suffix to a connection, just ask and I'll be more than willing to help).
As far as installing RASPPPoE is concerned, download it and you'll see it comes with a very easy to follow readme for your OS - follow that and you're set. then all u need to do is set the wan points, create 2 connections with their appropriate accounts and dns suffixes, and set up the routes batch files...

where 'PCNAME' is, and must be substituted by, your computer hostname (you can find this by typing 'hostname' without the quotes in a command prompt terminal).
