Hello,

I have a cable broadband at a speed hovering aroung 2 mbps and my brother's vodafone 3g sim gives around 3.5 mbps. Can I use both simultaneously on my windows 7, like usb tethering for the mobile and direct cable connected, and get speeds around 5 mbps.....

Is it even possible to do so????

Any info on how I can do this????

no unless you have advanced knowledge of networking protocols & routing tables or you are willing to spend ~5000-7000 on a load-balancing router & ready to understand its complex configuration.since you mentioned 1 connection as 3g add another 3000 for a 3g router.

nope.btw what is the use of such setup anyway because all 3g plans are limited with ~10gb/month limit.

You can use ForceBindIP. Bind applications to different network interfaces. You won't be able to get the sum of the two connections however.

Ex. uTorrent - 3G dongle, Firefox - BB
