A second NIC I guess. Not sure how the OS will handle it though and if you can prioritize bandwidth over multiple networks.

Windows, at least, by default only uses one or the other. The other generally just sits idle, unless you are using an application that gives an option of choosing which NIC to use. OBS does, so that'd at least work fine. It is also possible to setup bonding and such, but that's a rather complicated mess.

Streamers uses a load balancing router 

Plenty of ways of doing things, really. Setting QoS to give the game highest prio and Twitch-stream second-highest and then everything else into bulk-category works pretty well, or like I do, I've got mobile-broadband as WAN2 and the fiber as WAN1, so I can configure my pfSense-box to route all Twitch-traffic (or whatever else I may wish) over WAN2 and everything else on WAN1.

Using a router like pfsense would be one of the best options since you can divide traffic by clients, ips, ports or all of those

There several methods, if you have dsl you can get whats called a Bonded Line, literally  2 lines that connects to a load balancing modem so the lines share the load and virtualy increases your up/down.

You can do an old trick of Bridging connections to get similar results (i personally have never got a bridge to work).

Then there is as mentioned above getting a load balance router for multiple lines as well.

Bonding and aggregation are two different things

 

Bonding is the only true method to double your speed. Its balancing on a per frame basis.

 

Now connecting two routers and just balancing between two connection will not double or load balance your connection. It will still only allow max speed of one of the lines.
