Unfortunately I don't think it will work.  You would need to "bond" your
lines together to use more than one at a time, and you would need to do
this at both ends of the connection (Yours and your ISP's).

Unfortunately upload speed is one of the things that big ISPs are really
freaked out about.  They can't understand why someone needs to do more
than send ACKs back up the line.
