I deal mainly with BGP load sharing and use Cisco ASR and ISR routers. I’m guessing that your customer has two standard internet circuits and they aren’t doing BGP. There’s probably quite a few options, but it depends on the application. How large is the user base? Do you need a UTM device? If this is a small business, it looks like the Peplink mentioned above will load balance. Sonicwall also has options starting with the TZ300. Ubiquiti says the USGs will load balance but I’ve read it is not stable.

It’s nothing crazy. The urban providers speeds are all over the place. During the day. You can see 20-25 mbps. At night the speeds can drop below 5 mbps. Its a family of 4. When those speeds drop, it causes Apple TV to buffer. The kid complains about gaming speeds. I’m going to try DSL to see if it evens things out. It would be good if I could dedicate one ISP feed to the 2 Apple TV’s. Price is no problem.

Which ISP is only doing 20-25Mbps during the day? Is that WiFi, or hardwired?

A second connection from the same ISP will probably also degrade to 5Mbps in the evenings. Is 5Mbps enough for the application? If you can't truly "bond" the connections, you'll be stuck with assigning an application to one or the other connection at the respective time of day practical speed limit.

I have zero experience with this and I'm not convinced that it is a great idea, but a satellite service might be an option for one of your connections.

AT&T on a good day.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
