Re:Ask HN: Is it just me or is 5G strictly worse than LTE? on Sunday January 29, 2023 @01:55PM (#34571366)
Speedify lets you bond the cellular to the wifi. It doesn’t let you use the LTE AND 5g from you phone at same time. But it does let you join another phone’s hotspot so you can combine your cellular with the other phone’s cellular.
