If you're trying to achieve a total available of 5Mbps but no single
traffic connection of greater than 512kbps then it's possible without
additional endpoint work.  I don't know whether there's any software to
enable this though.

If you're after a 'virtual connection' which hides all the half-meg
pipes and allows you to burst to a single site at up to 5Mbps then
you're out of luck without something at the endpoint.  

The big problem is that you're dealing with 10 connections with unique
IPs, and I doubt any ISP is going to setup dynamic routing for you
across ADSL, at least not without charging for the service :)
