Aggregating 2x LTE routers

[charlieharper]

Hi guys.

I'm stuck in kind of a unique situation.

2 years ago I made the switch from ADSL to (Afrihost) Rain Fixed LTE (capped at 220+220 + rollover) as the copper cables continuously got stolen and as fair I know, they recently switched all the copper customers to wireless replacements.

Rain fixed LTE was absolutely great. Constantly 20-30mbps, 24/7, no problems - until around January this year, when it deteriorated very quickly. At night time (after 6pm), my Rain speeds are still pretty great, however, during the day, it often goes below 0.10mbps. Pretty disastrous. I think it's congestion, especially now that Rain launched uncapped between 23:00 and 18:00..

Now I unfortunately don't have FTTH in the area - although I have petitioned Link Africa (as they have a backhaul here) to get us connected, but no luck yet. This brings me to my current options, Rain LTE, Telkom LTE & MTN LTE.

I'm currently with Rain, but like I said, not the greatest experience during day time.
I'm not too keen on Telkom as I'm scared they might have the same kind of congestion as Rain.
MTN is an option, but it looks like 150gb is the highest I can go with them, which might be a bit too little for our household.

So I was thinking, is there a way to aggregate/combine 2x LTE routers and via hub/router/nas or whatever?

I do have a pretty badass 4 antenna wifi router I bought in Korea.

Yes I loadbalance three LTE routers.

Ok so quite a few folks have asked about my home setup with time based routing, so here's a brief guide. I may update as I go so please bear with me. The Need: Cost is obviously a factor for folks these days and I wanted to see how best I can leverage my bang for buck. ADSL became a pain with...
