I have not heard of this. We typically purchase a connection and bring
our own IP space. The capacity of the connection and the number of IP
addresses (if any) are unrelated to each other.
That said, I would find a bonded ethernet connection acceptable in some
applications. Bonded ethernet generally works well to increase aggregate
bandwidth when used by multiple hosts whose individual bandwidth is well
below the speed of each link in the bond. With few hosts, bonded
ethernet connections are not likely to work well to increase bandwidth
and would generally be unsuitable for providing connectivity to a single
IP/host.
