What a load of crap! The cable is not even connected, with shielding between them, how does the secondary cable transfer any data?

 

With the old IDE ribbon cables they pulled a trick like this. They were 80 pin cables but only 40 were used for data. The other 39 wires were called "earth" wires, or grounding wires.

 

I could see if you could put BOTH cables into an RJ45 connector on both sides it might help with throughput a bit, but not like this.

 

Also, your throughput is limited by your ISP. I have 15MB cable. Nothing I do on my side is going to boost my speed because there is a switch somewhere in the ether that knows my MAC address and limits it to 15MB.

 

I could get TWO cable accounts and have linux manage them both, but the ISP does not support "shotgunning" accounts to double the bandwidth either.
