Still, i am running some dedicated servers on colo in EU/US, some over 10G(bonding), and _single_ ip on server, i never faced such balancing issues, thats why i am asking, if someone had such carrier, who require to balance bandwidth between many ips, with quite high precision, to not lose expensive bandwidth.

I have not heard of this. We typically purchase a connection and bring our own IP space. The capacity of the connection and the number of IP addresses (if any) are unrelated to each other.

That said, I would find a bonded ethernet connection acceptable in some applications. Bonded ethernet generally works well to increase aggregate bandwidth when used by multiple hosts whose individual bandwidth is well below the speed of each link in the bond. With few hosts, bonded ethernet connections are not likely to work well to increase bandwidth and would generally be unsuitable for providing connectivity to a single IP/host.
