This could be a tricky issue, but you have a wired connection with limited performance. You can set up a mobile hotspot using your phone’s data plan and connect your PC via a Wi-Fi adapter. While your mobile speed is lower than Ethernet, it should still provide decent connectivity for basic tasks. If you want better performance, consider using dual GPUs to boost processing power, which might help improve both networking and computing speeds.

The setup requires specific configurations to achieve speeds above 10+Mbps. Proper connections must be arranged in a certain direction, but merging them directly isn't possible without specialized tools.

I explore various tools such as Discord, Twitch, YouTube, TeamViewer to manage bandwidth efficiently. Routing connections through a single device while others use the alternative can help optimize speed. Your connection speed is around 80+ Mbps in megabits per second, not megabits per second.

If you are planning to use your mobile data and your landline there are ways to set up a bonded connection using channel bonding but I wouldnt call it easy. There is also this but I havent tried that one so I am not sure if it would work for you.

Speedtest measures performance in megabits (Mbps), while internet usage is typically billed in megabits. Megabytes (MBps) refer to data transfer rates for storage, based on 8 bits per byte. To manage traffic effectively, you often require load balancing tools or routers that support policy-based routing, or you can implement static routing locally to direct specific IP ranges or domains along a consistent path.

I usually find that video unappealing since it assumes a provider who handles bonding effectively, which isn't possible with LTE and DSL connections from two different suppliers. The ideal solution should evenly distribute each data stream across various links, similar to LACP, but the approach demonstrated in the video differs.

Unlimited options are rarely truly unlimited. You typically receive around 20GB, after which performance plummets significantly—data usage might be restricted regardless. Even if your plan doesn’t enforce a strict cap, tethering often comes with its own lower data allowance. I’ve encountered services that provide just 5GB for tethering despite labeling it as unlimited, and then experience even steeper speed reductions. Be sure to review all details before committing.

I managed it using my old laptop. I plugged in the Ethernet cable, switched to Wi-Fi, then added a second Wi-Fi adapter. After that, I connected to a 2.4GHz network, followed by a 5GHz connection and finally the 2.4GHz extenders.

You're not in the US, you're in the EU where privacy matters most. ISPs can’t easily give politicians large sums or remove net neutrality like that. In reality, unlimited data is actually very generous. If you're using 50–100 GB daily, streaming 1080p at 60 fps uses about 3 MB per second—roughly 4 hours and 38 minutes of video in a day. With a plan costing the same as two 20 GB orders, it makes sense they keep you hooked. The contract clause about speed limits seems designed to encourage longer commitments. You don’t need special software—your router should handle it unless it’s Wi-Fi enabled.

Sure thing. The U.S. tech rules are pretty bad. We keep debating if 25Mbps is enough or if it's just too advanced for everyone. Plus, having a 720p video on your phone shouldn’t count as real broadband, which means we don’t need to lay cable everywhere.
