Is it possible to use a second ISP to give more network bandwidth to a Plex Server?

I have a Plex server setup on Xfinity with a 6Mbps upload, I also have a second ISP, USI Wireless, also with a 6Mbps upload. If I could use both of these together somehow that would be ideal. I have multiple very capable servers and a lot of CPU cores. If there is any way to have more than 1 remote stream at a time with my setup I would appreciate any ideas? I can also set up a dual WAN if that would help in any way?

If you have multiple servers, then assign them different ISP gateways.

Would they be able to share the actual video files or do I need to put one server on a network share to them? Or would this likely only work as load balancing, having some movies on a second server and the others on the first one?

Thank you for the response.

There is no such thing as load balancing in Plex.
You can certainly point several plex servers to the same local network file shares.

You could use an SD-WAN device to utilize both ISP’s. We use an SD-WAN at our work office to use two 1GB connections and essentially have 2GB speeds.
