I am planning to setup a load balancer connected with multiple ISP.
I will be than that load balanced internet to connect to a Premium VPN service (like purevpn or so) to access youtube and other site not available in my region.
Will load balance will improve speed , Or load balancer doesnt work with single connection PPTP to one server (i believe)?

A load balancer will not improve the speed of connections without special hardware on the receiving end. Multi-homing (using multiple Internet connections) improves throughput (bandwidth) but not speed. Two 1Mbps lines are not the same as a 2Mbps line, because a single connection will only ever be able to transfer data at a rate of 1Mbps. Unless you are using a protocol which involves multiple incoming and outgoing connections, you won't see much benefit from load-balancing.

Thanks for your reply.I purchased switchboard service from www.connectify.me which works pretty much same way as you told me, but infact my speed droped significantly. I believe their vpn service is pretty slow.
Do you know any easy method to combine multiple internet for fast streaming?
Probably any other VPN service from which i can benefit using load balancing. – Marc Ashwin – 2013-07-31T19:31:01.203
Why bother? If your purpose is to access content not available in your country, a simple VPN service would suffice. There's no need to subscribe to two ISPs. – Michael Hampton – 2013-07-31T18:30:08.790
actually my internet are not reliable, and wireless, wimax here have limited speed which makes it worst when browsing via VPN connected. – Marc Ashwin – 2013-07-31T20:06:06.473
