Residential users often face performance issues while using wired broadband connection with bandwidth hungry applications such as high-quality video streaming. Despite residential users have both wired (ADSL, cable, fibre) and wireless (3G, 4G) access technology at disposal, there are no applications capable of exploiting all the available capacity across different access technologies. In this demo we present an over the top (OTT) system, able to strategically On-Load a fraction of the data traffic from the wired to the cellular network, providing a power-boost for video streaming application over HTTP. We show that our solution is effective in reducing both pre-fetching and download time.
