Usually that only works with the cooperation of your ISP, and to be 
honest, from what I heard, bonded adsl does not work that well. Most 
ISP's have dropped it.


If what you want is intelligent use of mutliple ADSL connections then a 
load balancing router/modem might be more up your alley. Most also 
support intelligent failover, i.e switch connections to one line when 
the other fails.

Draytek do a excellent number of them, though they are expensive and 
tricky to configure, but very powerful. They also support 4G LTE modems 
and sim cards.


The T-link TL-R480T+ is cheap and pretty good, supports aggregating up 
to 4 WAN ports:

Note:Its a router not a modem - you'll also need a modem for each line, 
which is then connected into the router.
