This might be a very silly question:-)

Is there a device/way of paralleling mobile phone connections to boost
data rate? Possibly in connection with gaming activities.

You could use a dual wan router to load balance a pair of connections.
So one provided by a 4G USB dongle, and the other from a MiFi type
device with ethernet. Or in some cases the router can use a phone in hot
spot mode as a wan connection, and then load balance that with something
else.

Load balancing will double your overall throughput, but not increase the
maximum data rate for a single connection or lower the latency or ping.
(which matters for serious gaming)


Long shot question but my Vodafone service is suddenly very intermittent
and usually emergency service only. Vodafone deny any issues and this
has been continuous over more than a week.

Have you tried with a different phone?

My new neighbours have 3 young teenage boys and the wired internet is
limited to around 12 meg.

Them getting second phone line and broadband connection might make more
sense (load balanced if required)
