Two ADSL modems on one LAN

adsldomain-name-systeminternetnetworking

At the moment we have two buildings each with their own LAN's and each with their own internet connection through an ADSL modem, using their own seperate telephone line. Next week we are going to connect up ther buildings using a laser link. The whole company will then be on one LAN.

The only problem is that both buildings have at least 18 month left on the internet contracts. Can I still use both modems on 1 LAN? If so will this give me more bandwidth?

You can leave things exactly as they are if you want, there's no harm - but no easy way of using both links though. The other thing to remember is that those laser links, though great, are not 100% reliable, so leaving the existing setup in place means people would have the same connectivity they have today if it got foggy/snowy.
