And what's worse, someone giving a reasonable response to a stupid question, 
or someone who just likes to bitch?

...and 56k modems were regulated to 53k. Also, There is no easy way to 
amalgamate all the connections into a single stream. Just put two 100mbit 
network cards in a PC. It won't let you download at 200mbit. It will let you 
have two 100mbit streams though.
