Absolutely, that could impact performance and responsiveness in games and other tasks.

I misunderstood your explanation. You're right that bonding or link aggregation doesn't provide a single client with the combined throughput of both links. What I meant was simply "to bring them together." The device I described distributes the load across routers, allowing individual clients to access bandwidth similar to SMB3.0 Multichannel.
Usually you rely on a third-party provider rather than managing your own transit hub, typically located in a data centre. Your two connections connect to the gateway through specialized equipment. They can then divide the data flows between your two services; http://www.fusion-broadband.com/
To properly connect them, you'd need BGP and one ISP would have to offer to be the ASN, which is difficult to secure. As discussed earlier, it's preferable to distribute traffic evenly between the two, and you'd also want several IP addresses for your DNS and MX records to ensure redundancy.
A few years back when I moved to fiber, we had an active cable account for a short time during the switchover. I connected the cable modem and fiber port to my router and set up dual WAN. It performed really well for software that needed multiple connections at once—like torrenting legal files and updating World of Warcraft—but direct downloads only used one connection, so they didn’t gain any benefit.
