On my ISP (Three UK), a DNS lookup to fast.com gives you faster internet for the next minute or so.

Therefore, I have a background bash loop just looking up fast.com every 30 seconds all day long.

Out of interest, which Three plan (& APN) are you on?

I’m working on using a Smarty (Three UK-owned budget label MVNO, for those unaware) SIM card in a 5G modem as a backup line, and haven’t been super impressed with speeds — so curious about trying your tip.
