    Simply: nope!

    You cannot actually combine the connections but there are some tricks...

    Most notably, some programs (like the Azureus bittorrent client) allow you to specify which adapter they use. Let it use your neighbor's wireless while you browse on your own connection.

    Otherwise, combining the connections is damn near impossible. IEEE 802.3ad specifies how link aggregation has to work and, even today, one doesn't see this much outside of some _seriously_ fat pipes.
