Netgear AC810S and carrier aggregation

I recently switched my wireless Internet provider because with my former one all I could achieve was about 35 MBPS with a ZTE modem I don't remember the exact model. And that was with a very good signal with two big outside LTE antennas. Now I have TP-LINK MR6400 it's category 5 and with those same antennas I can get 100 mbps download. The thereortical max for LTE cat.4 is 150 mbps so I thnk this is a good speed but I'd like more. I'm thinking about carrier aggregation. There's this modem that lists LTE cat.9 support and that it aggregares up to 3 carriers can I buy this modem and another's IP SIM and get even better speed? If I can get 100 mbps with my current carrier and the other carrier manages 50mbps would that mean I could get 150 mbps with this modem? Can I just insert 2 SIM cards and have aggregated internet connection from two carriers(AFAIK they don't share infrastructure) with that modem?

ps. Unfortunately I can't have wired Internet 🙁 I know op
ps2. I don't know if this is the correct forum if not please move this thread to the appropriate one
 
I don't believe that you can do "carrier aggregation", if there are different carriers, since they need to do things on their side to enable that ability too.

You can do multi-WAN round-robin connection load-balancing, though. Just get a multi-WAN router.
 
It's a bit more complicated than I thought and yields less benefits to boot. Routers with complex Load-balancing options are very expensive like ZyXEL ZyWALL 110 VPN that's 400$. Of course cheaper options exists but they offer only basic load balancing options like Linksys' LRT224. Is there a router that's both multi-WAN router and LTE category 9+. It would be very stupid to have a load-balanced two LTE Cat 4 connection if in the are there's already LTE CAT 9 support or even something above 4. Cat 9 would be faster than two CAT 4 combined. LTE cat 4. 150mbps theoretical (in practice my connection only goes up to 90mbps) vs 450mbps cat 9. It's going to take a lot of time before an ISP installs above cat. 4 antennas in my area. What kinds of speed do you guys get with your wireless internet. I wonder if my 90mbps is actually a good results for a cat. 4 or not. it's only 66% peak bandwidth utilization which in most cases would be terrible but I'm not that knowledgeable about LTE connections.
