This made use of a modified portable <strong>TP-Link<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> Router, which plugged into one of your existing router&#8217;s LAN ports and then combined both links using a remote Boosty server.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly the Boosty service struggled to take off in the residential market, not least because 4G coverage was fairly poor in 2015 and data caps \/ excess charges at some mobile operators were a problem. Since then the coverage of fixed line superfast broadband (24Mbps+) has also increased to around 93% of the UK and many of those who use 4G for home connectivity often prefer to adopt a dedicated 4G router, which doesn&#8217;t require a Boosty subscription.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless Boosty is back and this time they&#8217;ve come up with a new idea based around the same premise, except the new approach is less focused on being a hybrid connection and more intended as 4G based redundancy for when a business fixed line connection goes down.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Paul Evans, CEO of Boosty, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Businesses now see broadband as a vital utility. With the adoption of cloud services, off-site data backup, VoIP and e-commerce, any disruption can cost them hundreds or thousands of pounds an hour. Despite this many businesses don\u2019t have contingency plans in event of broadband failure. Up-front hardware costs, complexity to install and the need for an expensive (largely unused) 4G data SIM are cited as the main reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Our radically different approach helps businesses with networks fail-over to the 4G connection they\u2019re already paying for; their smartphones.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Under this approach a small Boosty device is plugged into the back of a business broadband router and a small app is then installed on smartphones. Only when the business broadband line fails will Boosty &#8220;<em>seamlessly move traffic to the smartphone\u2019s mobile connection,<\/em>&#8221; which keeps data usage under control by allowing you to select which devices \/ services are most important (e.g. assign traffic to your shop till but not guest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">wifi<\/a> etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The Boosty Business Broadband Resilience package is \u00a399 +vat, which includes the Plug &amp; Play Router and 12 months\u2019 service (normally \u00a330 per year). Apparently several Smartphones can be linked to the service (i.e. when you hit a data cap on one then the system will look for the next available Smartphone). However the service doesn&#8217;t support dedicated (static) IPs but this is said to be coming &#8220;<em>soon<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>What do I need for Boosty?
