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?

Here's something you could try...
Equipment Needed:
1 X Load balancer
OR
you could get FiOS or VDSL to improve speeds

Sadly FiOS isn't available to most of the USA. http://fiberforall.org/fios-map/

But a load balancer won't actually give me faster speeds, it will just load balance correct? – Alex – 2015-04-14T01:34:42.447
That is indeed correct – Ramhound – 2015-04-14T01:44:19.480
^ is exactly right... It will load balance the PCs to get more equal speeds – td512 – 2015-04-14T03:24:09.157
You understand you would need 3 accounts just not 3 modems right? There are cheaper options.... – Ramhound – 2015-04-14T01:11:41.820
u-verse has a 45Mbps tier, is it not available in your area? – Tyson – 2015-04-14T01:19:33.253
@Ramhound that depends... rural areas and small towns may only have one broadband option even still in 2015. – Tyson – 2015-04-14T01:25:24.140
Rural areas have businesses; they don't use the same plans that non-commercial lots use. Just saying there are other options – Ramhound – 2015-04-14T01:34:31.883
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. – Alex – 2015-04-14T01:35:42.807
Do you want up to a single stream at that speed or something sitting between your computers and the internet load balancing? The former is probably impossible without ISP assistance, the latter is trivial. – Journeyman Geek – 2015-04-14T02:13:09.667
