Short answer: No you cannot use more than one Internet connection at a time.

Long answer: Maybe, but it depends on the software that you run. If the software allows you to choose a particular network interface (most do not), then you would need to manually configure your software to use one or the other.

this device should do it. you connect your DSL modem and 3G modem to it and it will Load Balance between the two.

Are you sure you included the correct link? I read that and it does not seem to do what the OP needs.

That is not a bad price for a load balancing router!

What software were you running when you thought you were getting 3.8MB speed?
