It also wouldn't take much (other than money, of course) to put three 40Gig NICs in an LACP team.

LACP doesn't work well at these speeds (and certainly not single-stream) unfortunately.

Just upgraded my router, so I'm finally getting a better sense of my connection speed. About 2X the previous throughput! :-)

A few months back I got a second DSL line to augment my terrible 3M/768k service. Last week I finally got around to setting up a pfSense machine with proper load balancing:

Now I don't have to play games any more segmenting the bandwidth hogs onto different connections, I can just let the router pick the less-loaded link for me. Although it doesn't use both connections simultaneously, Netflix does tend to tear down and reestablish it's stream every few seconds, nicely bouncing between lines preventing one from getting loaded for an extended period of time. It also allows me to load both links with things like torrents or multi-stream download game updates.

Between that and the excellent QoS ability, I can now abuse my crappy connection much better without having to worry about VoIP taking a crap or my wife complaining Netflix stopped working. :D
