BANDWIDTH BOOSTING IN SHARED LOCAL NETWORKS

A network device provides, to a user device, a user interface to configure preferences for a bandwidth boosting service. The bandwidth boosting service is configured to supplement a subscriber's primary content delivery connection with additional bandwidth from a broadband cellular connection. The network device receives, via the user interface, user configuration preferences for the bandwidth boosting service and provides, to a boosting router at a local subscriber network, configuration settings that are based on the configuration preferences. The network device receives, from the boosting router, a boost request for content delivery to a user device at the local subscriber network and generates, in response to the boost request, a split-path instruction for the content delivery to the local subscriber network via a primary data path and a supplemental data path.
