Don't think Netgear has any Broadband Load Balancing or Broadband Channel Bonding offerings.

Talk to your ISP first - they might have offerings making two or more broadband links into a true single Internet connection - unless you are behind a pure low cost load balance approach.

I'm just moving to a new house where the fiber is not yet arrived (it's mixed fiber/copper). To work I need to move a lot of GBs per day therefore I need speed to Upload/Download/Working remotely with colleagues at the same time. In my actual house I can do that because I have a fiber connection. The best idea I had for the new house is to spend more money (not less) to hope to have a better speed at least similar to the fiber connection.

Sorry Christian, this is not what AmazingAbe needs. WAN port aggregation won't allow to combine multiple Internet connections or communication links. It's only to provide higher bandwidth to a single Internet connection, typically on Cable Modems supporting router WAN port aggregation.
