\section{Motivation}
Many regions in the UK do not have access to high bandwidth Internet connections\cite{noauthor_2018_2018}. However, it is often possible to have multiple low bandwidth connections installed. More generally, a wider variety of Internet connections for fixed locations are becoming available with time. These include: DSL, Fibre To The Premises, 4G, 5G, Wireless ISPs such as LARIAT and Low Earth Orbit ISPs such as Starlink.
\section{Existing Work}
\section{Aims}
This project aimed to provide a method of combining a variety of Internet connections, such as the situations listed above.
When combining Internet connections, there are three main measures that one can prioritise: throughput, resilience and latency. This project aimed to provide throughput and resilience at the cost of latency.
