It's a pain in the ass having to disconnect from my cable modem in my room when wanting to connect to the other network in my house thats running downstairs, both isp accounts are connecting to a cable modem each, 1 is directly plugged into ethernet on my pc and the other modem goes to a router and on to switch, then on to downstairs pcs.
Ive been fiddling with a old box to act as a second router, which i hope will let me bond and connect 2 independant networks , allowing access to computers on those ranges and load balancing to combine up/downloads / quality of service. After reading the linux advanced howto i think i need something along the lines of this:

This is less of a question for help and more of a rambling on my part to clear things but i would be interested in other views people have on tackling this approach.
Dual wan port'd routers are expensive :( and the second connection isn't being paid for so spending unneccesary £ is out of the question at the moment.
