How to combine 2 ethernet connection for better throughput


I have access to 2 separate networks. Both networks provide access to the internet. What I want to do is basically increase my bandwith by accessing both networks at the same time.

Example:
eth0: Ip-167.76.151.234 Provider: Time Warner Cable
eth1: Ip-64.136.197.99 Provider: Everest Cable

Questions:
1. How do I tell Linux to combine both networks?
2. How do I tell Linux to do a round robin effect to each connections?
3. Can you prioritize a connection?
4. What is the technical term for combining ethernet connection in this manner?

Thank you

heh, i've had people say they've had faster replies though! strange though, you're like the 10th person to ask this in a month... you'd think it'd be an obscure request wouldn't you? not for the last two months it hasn't been.
