Bond for increasing the transfer speed between two ISPs & BGP

Good morning, good people!

I recently bought a refurbished CISCO WS-C4948E-E switch and rented two internet lines between two different providers, as follows:
- The first: 2Gbps best effort that does not allow BGP sessions
- Second: 100Mbps best effort that allows BGP sessions

I have also rented an ASN number and three /24 prefixes.

What I want to achieve is a higher transfer speed on the 3 subnets that I will use to host VPS servers at home.

Being the first time I interact with BGP sessions, Bonds and connections between ISPs, I need tutorial recommendations from you and tell me what is the maximum speed that I can achieve by combining the two ISPs.

Thank you!

Well, if the 2g ISP doesn't do BGP, unclear how they will support traffic to/from your public AS.  Minimally I suppose you could statically prefer that path for egress.

With 2g and 100m, the latter offers little benefit beyond as a backup.  So, assume, 2g in/out, but w/o BGP on your 2g, perhaps only 2g out and 100m in.
