It can actually work to deliver twice the speed depending on the client.
For something that creates multiple TCP connections it does. With a
multithreading download manager, the load balancing router works great.

What might not work so well is port forwarding. At least it didn't seem
to on the router that I once used. What seemed to happen was that the
inbound would come in via one route and the return had a 50/50 chance of
going the same path thus connections were unreliable and the only
affinity that was hard settable was that for SMTP.

Mileage may vary with a different router.
