Your latency problems are over.

fios says 50mbps, about 2x your house.

Based on your recommendation I have purchased 3.  Can someone teach me how to make these into a RAID?

Actually sir, you'll need at least 4 to reach maximum throughput and begin getting negative ping, thereby allowing you to see games several minutes in advance and, well, long story short legally speedhack.

You'll also be able to download solid objects, such as computer peripherals or porn models.

raid a network card?
easily done
get a hp network card software and you can team 2 of them

First up, RAID stands for 'Redundant Array of Independent Disks' and has no baring on anything network related.

Secondly, you are referring to software adapter teaming; which can be done with two or more physical adapters and proper software support. You do not need HP cards. I have teams built using mixed vendors under Linux. Windows required driver support.

In addition, to use teamed adapters, you need a switch that supports Link Aggregation (as defined by the IEEE 802.3ad specification).

If you are looking to get more bandwidth at home, this won't help as your bottleneck is your leased connection. You cannot simply get two cable modems and hook them up to two network cards and expect to get double bandwidth. You will need an intelligent load-balancer capable of stateful connection tracking.

(paraphrased) Your provider is the bottleneck.

You know I was just thinking about when they would make porn 3d but this sounds better.  I wish to invest in your company.

Even if Surf was joking about building a 'raid' of network cards, the practice is extremely common albeit not as easy as stated.

Load balancing is a complete science into it's self. A system with two network interfaces is not instantly a load balancer. Network arrogation is not load balancing, it's a form of redundancy.

An F5 makes a proper load balancer. I have a pair of BIG-IP balancers in one of my racks, they cost $30k each.

Actually, my colleague has used a lot of F5 stuff and he says they are very underwhelming for the price you pay for it. His company switched to linux load balancers because the F5 didn't have half the throughput that the linux loadbalancers could do.

No complaints here. I personally would have gone for any other option, but we require a product with available vendor support, so pretty much anything open source is out of the question.
