I need a faster internet connection. I am thinking about getting 3 AT&T U-verse modems, each providing me 18x1mbps. Is there an effective way to combine all 3 modems to form 1 aggregated connection, 54x3mbps? I have 6 computers and I would like to have 4-5 of them connected directly to the connection via wired connection and the other 1-2 connected via wireless. Is this possible? How do I do this?

You understand you would need 3 accounts just not 3 modems right? There are cheaper options....– RamhoundApr 14, 2015 at 1:11

u-verse has a 45Mbps tier, is it not available in your area?– TysonApr 14, 2015 at 1:19

@Ramhound that depends... rural areas and small towns may only have one broadband option even still in 2015.– TysonApr 14, 2015 at 1:25

Rural areas have businesses; they don't use the same plans that non-commercial lots use. Just saying there are other options– RamhoundApr 14, 2015 at 1:34

Yes, I understand I will have 3 accounts. No there are no cheaper options. Bonded T1 lines are ridiculously priced. That is why I am trying to go this route.– AlexApr 14, 2015 at 1:35

Here's something you could try...
Equipment Needed:
- 3 X AT&T U-verse modems
1 X Load balancer
- Connect modems, and connect to internet once on each
- Connect Load Balancer to combine modems
- Enjoy faster internet
OR
you could get FiOS or VDSL to improve speeds

Sadly FiOS isn't available to most of the USA. fiberforall.org/fios-map– TysonApr 14, 2015 at 1:12

eek... didn't know that, I'm in NZ, however VDSL, or a Load balancer would be the OPs best option– td512Apr 14, 2015 at 1:16

But a load balancer won't actually give me faster speeds, it will just load balance correct?– AlexApr 14, 2015 at 1:34

^ is exactly right... It will load balance the PCs to get more equal speeds– td512Apr 14, 2015 at 3:24
