Hello Community,
I have two connections at home "Ethernet Via service provider" And "My S4 Data plan" i wish to use them both at the same time is that possible?
The problem is that my ethernet connection has a high DL speed "10Mb" but low download "1MB" and my Galaxy S4 data plan has a higher upload speed "9Mb" and i wish to stream online games from it, is that possible? Thanks in advance.

The major issue you will have is you have 2 different IP address which every server on the internet assumes is different machines. So if you would send data from your S4 ISP address how would the server know you wanted it to be sent back to the other address. This is a fundamental violation of the underling TCPIP protocols so I would not expect it to be ever changed.

You have 2 options.

There are services that "claim" to be able bond 2 different ISP together. This is a fancy form of VPN. I suspect it works for some things but you have huge difference in latency so I suspect it is mostly a bunch of garbage when they say you can combine them. Some have free trials so I guess you could see.

The other option is you manually load...

The other option is you manually load balance your traffic. This will not solve the issue of making a single session faster but you could run somethings on one and somethings on the other. A very tedious adventure since it is done by IP address. The command to do all this is ROUTE from a command line. You would set one interface to be the default route and then put in route commands point any other stuff you wanted to the secondary connection.
