No, it won’t. Why would you even want to do that?

With the advent of DOCSIS 3.0, broadband radio frequencies may now extend into the satellite IF range.

Unless you have multiple accounts, your ISP isn't going to support the use of a second modem.

Are you looking to have two totally separate accounts and connections or are you trying to put one in bridge mode?

A third (and still unworkable option) would be to try to use the modems as a bridge.
