How to setup multiple ISP internet providers as one

I am currently using an internet provider that just today announced they are capping monthly data and if I go over, they will charge me additional fees for each gig I go over. Problem is, I easily go over this limit every month and I cannot upgrade. Im at their highest cap.

I also have hot spot service with my cell phone provider that I pay for every month but don't use it. Its 4G and pretty fast. I plan to buy the hot spot device that allows up to 15 devices at once. My question is, can I set them both up where I can fail safe over to one? so use my primary provider then be able to route all traffic to my other provider with either a click of a button or setup some rule where if it reaches a certain setting it automatically switches over? Or maybe use them concurrently at all times?

Thanks for the info. I thought at least I could do it via load balancing. Do you have any suggestions in the situation below?

You reached your limit with your primary internet provider and can no longer use them. You have a hot spot service that you can use instead. How can I easily transfer all traffic to the hot spot internet connection?

Looks like I can do this, somewhat, since I have an ASUS router. They have dual WAN setup in the router interface...

Cool...
