You'd have to network them, which isn't as hard as it sounds. All you'd need is a router, three Cat 5 cables (if you're doing a wired network, which is the most secure and reliable), and Ethernet adapters for your PCs if they don't already have an Ethernet jack (most PCs come with them now). I use the D-Link DI-604 router, which works just fine and isn't all that hard to configure. Just plug your modem's ethernet connection to the router's WAN (Wide Area Network) port, each of your computers to the router's LAN (Local Area Network) ports, log into the router using one of the PCs (usually done through your web browser) and configure it. From that point on, your router logs into your broadband ISP for you.
if one of the comps is always on, you can just bypass the router and set up an adhoc network. but if you have to network with router, it shouldn't be more than about $50 for hardware and the cost of cableing (this can get expensive, but usually not that high).
you could have two modems and each will get 100% of teh speed, but that means you have to pay extra each month for service to that modem.

if you can, avoid wireless at all costs, i have it and it's a big hassle to manage. my connection is supposed to be about 7500kbps/1000kbps, but wireless max speed (b) is about 3mbps. in your case it won't slow it down that much, but the constant hanging will get on your nerves quickly (sometimes connection will stall for several seconds).
