Trying to get my in-laws internet at their very rural house so that my MIL can work from home and avoid the 100 mile/day commute. I was able to get set up with an LTE based internet connection through a local university. It's a small outdoor POE antenna/modem combo which I mounted in place of the LNB on an old 9' TV satellite dish they had in their yard and pointed it at the tower. Gets much better signal than the 40' tower we first tried. Consistently getting 20+MB/s down and 4MB/s up which is pretty much the limit of the ISP.
My MIL's employer requires 40MB/s down, 10MB/s up when running a google speed test and my MIL will not fudge the numbers at all. Nothing she is doing however requires more than 4MB/s down, 0.5MB/s up (tested). Sparing the frustrating details.
ATT coverage is virtually non-existent at their house, however if you put a phone or hotspot next to the internet modem in the dish, it goes to 5 bars of service and I can get 25 down, 5+up.
I've tried bridging in windows but it never seems to combine their speed. I also tried speedify but it actually slowed down the download speeds. It did combine uploads and I was able to get just over 10 up.
Any suggestions on good ways to combine an ethernet and wifi internet connection that would improve a speed test? If I was able to get close to the sum of both connections, with an algorithm that would only use ATT as a backup bandwidth source, I think we could just get over the 40/10 threshold and be okay with the cheapest data only plan for the hotspot.
