Clarification Request
What do you mean with "connections"?

- Connection from your PC to ISP? Quite uncommon to use two simultaneously.
- Programs using Internet? That makes some sense: receiving mail in your email client while browsing.

detailed description:
i have an usb modem and a 3g enabled mobile phone.
i am using two different sim cards (one in each).
i have made internet recharges in both of them but they are both limited to 6GB of internet usage.
now i want to connect to internet from both of them at the same time from a single computer.
since they do not allow unlimited amount of data transfer so i will have to monitor them in real-time.
if this is clear...!!!!

now plz help me...how to monitor their internet usage!!!!

As far as I know ...

you can only use one connection at the same time. So before seeing if you can measure them, I'd try if you can get it working. If not, you're limited to using the one the first half of the month and the other the second half of the month.

i was successful in running two different internet connections in my laptop running windows 7 ult x64.
made changes in random adapter registry too...everything worked...
just couldnt monitor the both individually at the same time!!!

I see.

But I don't know a program that can do what you want. The 2 suggestions I have:
1. Use them serially, not parallel.
2. Rely on your ISP's counters.

While there are some counters in Windows, I can't tell if you know how to use them or apps like NetLimiter.
