Hi !!
Me and my brother will use internet 4 mb Dsl not wireless but both are facing slow speed lot of time in streaming so if we both use different connection is it better ?? i know its slow speed but my cousion has 2 mb on pentium 4 slow computer and that was to fast
even i have core 2 duo e8400 3.0 + 4 gb ram
so should we use different connection instead of joint

If you have some spare computer parts laying around, you could build a PFSense box and carve out dedicated bandwidth for each user via packet shaping. So any idle bandwidth one user has, the other user can use, but as soon as the person wants to make use of their bandwidth, it'll take it back.

But yes, a simple way would be to have two separate Internet connections. I would think that would be more expensive in the long run.
