I live in a rural area and have limited access to broadband. I use a wireless satellite wireless broadband(wildblue) and AT&T wireless broadband I tether to my wireless gateway .I have 10 gigs available on the satellite and 20 gigs available on the at@t. Also, both ISP have interment speed slow downs are no signal with require I often have to switch wireless networks from my ipad or laptop. I currently use an apple AirPort Extreme for one network and a Cisco e1200 with DDRT on the other . I have basic stups on both routers but experience speed issues from time to time. Both routers are in the same room of a private home and should like some ideas haw to optimize the configuration for both routers.
Two ISPs and two wireless gateways

There is management software available. Connectify Dispact for example can manage both sources of internet. In your case you would specify your gigs available and it would used more bandwith from at&t, unless it was laggy; then it would use more from the Sat. Or how ever you set it up really...

Or are you asking more about the Wi-Fi signals "walking" on each other? There are routers with 2 inputs. Cat 5e inputs, you could have two 5 meg DSL connections for example and combine them for a 10 meg service. Not sure if you stickily Wi-Fi, as you would need ethernet connections from the main source in this case.

WHY are you paying for two different ISP's?
As for "optimizing" I think the core issue is reception. I'm not quite sure of the available options, but I would stick with a single provider and invest a little in a better receiver.
You should also contact the companies if you haven't done so to diagnose your issue and give you better advice. If you're paying for a service they can't provide it's up to them to fix it if possible, or at the minimum tell you what you need to do to solve the issue.
*TO BE CLEAR:
If you run either service, but itself (the other unhooked), and connect a computer via an ETHERNET cable do you have any issues? In other words, is it an issue with the LOCAL wi-fi, or the wireless service you're connecting to?
Other:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the following: " AT&T wireless broadband I tether to my wireless gateway" . I thought you meant a wireless router, but then you mention two other products (Apple/Cisco) so I'm confused on how many local network devices you have.
BTW, different wireless transmitters on the same frequency can actually interfere with each other. A 2.4GHz wireless phone setup can also cause issues at times if your wi-fi is the same.
