I hadn't realised it was limited to the residential address. I had been
speaking to someone a while ago that had bonded 2 1.5m ADSL lines
together and was connecting to that via wireless. The impression he gave
me was that the ISP knew all about it and was quiet happy with the
arrangement. 

To be honest I had fully intended to let whichever ISP we use know what
we were doing as the idea of bonding 2 lines is quite appealing. 

Shrug, I guessed it was just one of those common sense things, but I will
make a point of contacting some ISPs early in the piece to make sure we
aren't conspiring to commit fraud.

Thanks, this is the sort of information I was after. I am leaning
towards letting the professionals do it.
