You can do fail-over DSL/LTE easily with the right router. I do this for some of my customers and for my own home/office connection. I use a DrayTek Vigor 2862 LTE at home, which has a built-in LTE modem and additionally supports ADSL/VDSL, fibre broadband (over Ethernet), etc. The router takes a SIM card, which provides a 4G LTE connection if my VDSL connection goes down. Or, I can immediately switch to LTE any time I like simply by disconnecting the VDSL connection.

However, switching from DSL to LTE based on bandwidth requirements is a lot more complicated, and really not something you'd want to do. Even if you could make it work reliably, it would provide a poor internet experience due to the frequently changing public IP address, which would result in streaming restarts and website log-outs.

Have you considered switching to Three instead? They offer unlimited 4G/5G packages.
