    no consumer level switches or routers are capable of handling a setup like this. Cable is fast enough that it really shouldn't matter adding on a little bit extra bandwidth that your dsl would provide. If you really want to do this and you have a computer with 2 ethernet ports, you can bridge the networks in windows. But as i said, this would require both modems being connected directly to your computer using 2 ethernet ports. Id say, if you are going to get the cable, suck it up and just use the cable and leave the dsl, even if you have to pay for a little bit more of it. there isn't an easy way to combine them.

    Nope ..... 1 connection only. you can have 2 different wireless signals each connected to different provider, but not at the same time. 1 router = 1 internet gateway connection
