There are lots of multi-WAN routers out there...Linksys/Cisco RV0 series, Peplink, DLink and Netgear have a few.
For an internet cafe though, I'd honestly look towards something better, with good QoS feature....and that would be using a *nix router distro that you install on your own x86 hardware. Could even take the safety approach and use a UTM distro that provides additional antivirus and anti-spyware protection, as well as good web content filtering and blocking of p2p/torrent crap so those users don't come in and kill your internet connection with abuse.

ok i'm going to see if i can set it up i found one of your post here which one would you think would be best i dont want to block p2p entirely but do more of bandwith sharing which mean if i have 1 computer on 8 meg it's using 8mg and if i have 10 computer on 8 meg it split equaly among the 10
