I am combining multiple internet connections since many years for
companies based on cheap consumer internet connections. So I know
the topic and the possible solutions.

When I looked last time into it, MPTCP was basically nowhere
supported. No protocol is useful if the other endpoint does not
support it. While QUIC is currently pushed, the multi path version
of it is not and it does not seem to distribute load well.
Did that change recently?

So you either depend on the other end supporting the protocol you
like or you make a tunnel. That's what you do according to the forum
posts. So in the end, you are selling a VPN with another marketing
than your competitors.

Why should an ISP care about that? In my country, there is an ISP
selling a bonded solution but this is an expensive ISP and even
with bonding cheaper ISPs provide better connectivity. It looks
like this ISP bought some hardware/software solution for that that
includes their network infrastructure and the device for the end user.
