Maybe you didn't tell us the whole storyof your connectivity setup, but
I think LVS can't overcome physical realities: the "1.5M down/1M up" rate
is a hard limit of the local cable modem network loop and not the modem.
Therefore adding more cable modems to the same cable connection does not
increase bandwidth, since the base bandwidth is already shared between
all modems on the loop.

You might want to have a look at this article (comparing cable and ADSL):
