The copper to your location only handles 512kpbs per pair, so they add
an extra modem every time they open a new port?

Most likely not.

If you get a different IP address on each port, it's hard. You'd need
a device which could do flow-based NAT, and that would only work for
outbound calls.

On the other hand, if the ISP cooperates, there are lots of options:
a) Multi-pair SDSL modems
b) Multi-link PPP
c) Equal-cost multipath
