Multiple TCP connections might increase speed even to single source because of the following reasons:
1. TCP connection increases speed gradually over time until it hit some bandwidth limit. So if you open 10 connections, you'll hit that limit faster.
2. Rare packet drop will drop connection speed and it'll take some time to restore that speed on a given connection. With multiple simultaneous connections and rare drops only one or two connections will experience that speed drop, while other connections might even compensate that with increased speed.
So if your connection is flawless, it does not make sense. Otherwise it might make sense.
