in my area the fastest speed you can get is a mere 512Kb/s (with 55KBs Downloading speed :() so i was thinking if i subscribe twice and get two boxes will i be able to plug the two LAN wires into two of my LAN ports at the back and get the PC to use them as 1Mb/s speed if that makes scene :p

Sort of...the only question I have is is it really worth twice the price?

You will not get a full 'doubling' if you do this...it will be more like 850 K than 1024...

With all network connections, there is a certain amount of 'overhead'...ACKs, SYNs, packet headers, etc. So when you use two individual connections, instead of 10 to 20 percent overhead, you'll end up with about 20 to 30 percent overhead (it will double too..).
