    You can get load balancing built into some firewalls now, its not the same a full hardware load balancer but doesnt cost as much wonga.

    Here is an example:

    Almost any reasonable router (or firewall) will allow you to make use of multiple wan links. You can use a cheap 2611, for example, and there are a variety of ways to load balance. Policy based routing works well, or you can use optimized edge routing (OER), now renamed performance routing, for intelligent load balancing. Although, as has been said, if increased bandwidth is the only reason you want to use multiple wan links it is often cheaper just to get a single faster link.
