I wonder if this is portable as long as you have an oulet for power?

Back when I had dialup we used something called Shotgun that let us use two modems with two phone lines to get double the speed. Is this still a thing? Tmobile has faster upload than Comcast where I live so it would be nice to either supplement the upload speed with a hotspot or replace it without giving up the wired download speeds.
Funny anecdotal story: many, many years ago, I was visiting my parents who moved to a remote area and only had dialup. While this was ~20 years ago, broadband was a thing in most areas and I had like a 3mbps cable circuit at my place or something like that. Anyway, trying to use a single modem for Internet was beyond painful, especially for work related stuff. They had two phone lines, and I had a built in modem in my laptop plus a PCMCIA card one, so figured, WTH let's see if I can double up. Never tried it before, but it connected fine, bridged the two connections and I was getting ~100kbps. Still sucked, but double the speed of the alternative. Made that week a bit more bearable.
Fast forward about a month and my mom calls me saying she got a bill from her ISP (AT&T or some subsidiary) saying she was charged around $500 in overages and asked me if I knew what happened. As this was an "unlimited" plan, it didn't make any sense. I told her I would call them and I spoke to some billing rep who was very confused since it normally didn't bill people anything for a flat rate plan. She started digging in and said it looks like I was connected twice at the same time. At that point I realized what happened, but played it cool and said "how was that possible", etc. She agreed it didn't make any sense so issued a full credit. But it seems like while the ISP supported it from a technical standpoint, they charged people like $0.50/hour or something crazy if they did it.
This is such a pain. Guess I'll be canceling my service and waiting 30 days.
Another question, will this only apply to personal/family plans? Or business plans as well?
e.g. every small VPN

I have some issues with live operations, like Zoom or other live/video calls. I actually had to revert to a much slower service I kept while testing T-Mobile. I put my family/household on T-Mobile and my work on the old one. (I only get 40 down and 5 up with the old one but it's robust for calls compared to the much higher speeds from TMobile).

"Customers are required to call T-Mobile prior to moving to confirm that their new address is eligible for service. If T-Mobile Home Internet is available at the new address, you can use it as soon as you move in. If a customer moves without notifying T-Mobile, they may not be eligible for service."
Have not heard anyone getting penalized for doing this but it doesn't mean they may not penalize you for it in the future.
T-Mobile only allows a certain amount per street as they don't want to compromise wireless customers.
I pay $30-$40 for 50/50 fiber, they(telecome 5g home internet as a whole) obviously need to be more scrappy here, especially with service inconsistencies that they'll never be able to control since the number of subs per tower is pretty far out of their scope to address if they see a sudden influx in one area, they can't just throw up another tower in 2 months. Telecoms know this is the internet service of the future and don't want to pass on the actually lower costs right away and want to keep billing at internet TTH line prices but it isn't compatible with market realities. They should just make it $20 a month per all and be happy to steal $20 a month from Comcast/Centurylink/etc. for ever moving forward since those players can't deploy service so quickly like a tower can.
any workarounds ?
