Yes, you can use 2 modems for a faster connection; I've done it. You need another phone line and modem and your ISP will charge you - usually about half of what you're already paying on top of the regular price. It's called "multilink". Easy to set up. You dial up as usual and as soon as connection established the other modem dials and connects; the 2 speeds are combined.

HOWEVER, for what you pay for another phone line you can get DSL. With DSL you get the Net, faster speeds and can talk while surfing, all on 1 line. Do the numbers and you save $$
