OverTheBox is an open source solution developed by OVH to aggregate and encrypt multiple internet connections and terminates it over OVH/Cloud infrastructure which make clients benefit security, reliability, net neutrality, as well as dedicated public IP.
The aggregation is based on MPTCP, which is ISP, WAN type, and latency independent "whether it was Fiber, VDSL, SHDSL, ADSL or even 4G", different scenarios can be configured to have either aggregation, load-balancing or failover based on MPTCP or even OpenWRT mwan3 package.
The solution takes advantage of the OpenWRT/LEDE system, which is user friendly and also the possibility of installing other packages like VPN, QoS, routing protocols, monitoring, etc. through web-interface or terminal.
