One way to connect to multiple ISP is to use Multi-homing. This is where the router(s) load balance the internet connection between the ISPs, and also provides fault recovery (if one connection goes down, you still have connection through the others).

Have a look at this URL for info on Multi-homing.

Hope this helps.

i guess by connecting u r reffering to load balancing ....... the best and a skillfull way is to configure BGP4 on your core router . u get a lot of options to manage your advertisements of networks to the 2 isp`s , make one connection as primary and the other to be used when one goes down and nuances like that.BUT TAKE CARE ......

just ive a search for "BGP case studies" on the cisco`s home page.
