Joseph, this doesn't really answer your question, but this was mentioned couple days ago (I think it was you) and it made me think if this can work.
Assuming you only have one provider with one account, how will you tell your provider to send calls to you through both connections? You could balance it so that some DIDs come through connection A and others through connection B, even then it won't be perfect since you are not balancing concurrent calls but DIDs. If you only have one DID, I don't think you can do much anyway; all calls will come through the same connection. You could possibly do some tricks with RTP stream redirection (SIP reinvites) or IAX transfers by running two copies of asterisk, each bound to a different IP, but you see it gets messy rather quickly. And I think that requires the WAN router that is smart enough to distinguish separate UDP streams going to the same destination, which is harder because UDP (unlike TCP) is stateless. I remember reading (sorry, no reference at the moment) that the WAN interface for outgoing traffic is selected on a per-destination basis. Meaning, when a new IP destination is seen by the router, a WAN interface is chosen and all subsequent traffic to that IP will go through that one WAN interface (at least for a while until the selection expires). Essentially, the router will not send packets using both WAN interfaces to the same destination. It looks like you can almost do the same thing (if not more!) with the advanced routing functionality in Linux and iptables.
