Using iPhone connected with USB and ADSL via Ethernet cable combined, differences bridging the two or just having both connected but not bridged

[Phillip Gwynne]

Now that I have an new iPhone with unlimited 5G data, I’m using that more for my PC as my ADSL broadband only gets to around 14mbps and upload never goes above 860KBps. I connected my iPhone up and bridges the connections and doing speed tests, I usually get around 200mbps peak hours and have got over 46mbps early hours. But if I bridge the connections, there seems to be huge delays from entering a site in search bar and going to that page, but once it’s ‘found’ images etc come up fast. But sometimes if I have both connected but haven’t created a bridge the response times seem a lot faster and even speed tests. But sometimes speed tests seem to be like only the ADSL is running wether it’s bridged or not. I’ve noticed when opening task manager the ‘mobile hotspot’ service isn’t always running, but not sure if that makes any difference. What’s peoples advice on making best use, bridge connections? Mobile hotspot service on/off? Thanks in advance for your help

When you say you’re bridging the connectioNz? Are you just plugging them in at the same time or do you have some form of device that can split the traffic across the aggregated 214 Mbps bandwidth?
