No. None that I know about. Of course, I can get ISDN bonded
channels, but not DSL.

The reason my customers get load balancing multi-WAN port routers is
not for the speed improvement, but reliability It's for the automatic
redundancy via a backup ISP. The speed improvement is just an added
bonus. I usually see two ISP's with radically different service
methods mixing cable, DSL, satellite, wireless, dialup, or packet. If
one goes down, the customer usually doesn't even notice.

Amazing. When I asked the local ISP's if they were interested in
offering channel bonding, the usual answer is that there's not enough
demand to justify the offering. My guess is that they're right.

I doubt it. However, there's nothing wrong with running your own
nameserver and doing the balancing act locally. The only thing the
ISP needs to do is deal with the reverse DNS service on their DNS
servers.
