Question : making use of both a Virgin Media (Cable) and BT (ADSL) broadband connection at the same time?
I have a Virgin Media cable connection that has been providing a broadband connection to my home network of 6 PCs. I have recently added a BT ADSL connection that also could provide the broadband connection via a BT Home Hub. I would like to use both WAN connections and load balance them.
A number of designs have been proposed, but all require either detailed configuration of the routing tables (under Windows XP) on each PC or configuration of teh tables on each of the routers (Belkin and Home Hub).
A dual WAN router has also been suggested. It is not clear to me how this would be configured. Do I take a LAN connection of the Belkin router to the WAN port on the Dual Wan router? Will this also work with the Home Hub? I don’t want to use the WiFi capabilities available on each of the existing routers.
Correction … I don’t want to LOOSE the WiFi capabilities of each of the existing routers.

You connect the cable network bridge and the DSL network bridge directly to the dual WAN router. Then you could run either or both of your other wireless routers from the numbered ports of the dual wan router.
