Hybrid Speed Boost is included at no extra cost for new BT business broadband customers taking ADSL broadband plans.

And

Average upload speeds can be uplifted to 10Mbps

Sounds impressive, anyone aware of the cost?

I'm wondering if people like Weaver would benefit from moving one line to this service, apparently it only benefits TCP services as it uses mptcp for the higher speeds.

I'm kinda surprised AAISP do not already offer something like this.

They do but in a pay as you use billing method per MB:

1.75p +VAT per MB upload/download

They offer 4G data sure, but I was referring to bonding DSL and 4G.  I'm not aware of them doing that.

I suspect there might be problems with mismatched MTUs too.

Wouldn't automatically using the smallest MTU from all the lines being used take care of that?

Hybrid Speed Boost from BT is underpinned by MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) technology from Tessares. MultiPath TCP is an enhancement to TCP, and enables the efficient, selective combining of existing network assets. It takes TCP based traffic and is able to split the traffic over multiple paths (such as fixed and mobile networks) to deliver increased speeds to customers.  More info about Tessares Hybrid access.
