1. I have two ISPs so is it possible to combine the speed?
2. What are the options to setup multi isp? switch, router? there is er605 but nothing similar in microtik, ubiquiti?

looking to have 1 sfp port+rj45 wan based setup. but i would love if we can have two isp using 2 sfp port. what are the options we have?

anyone have used microtik hex s for multi wan setup? does it combine speed?
 
Yes, possible to combine speed - you need to use policy based routing which will ensure packets are sent on multiple ISPs. This will work for workloads where the packet sequence is not important well such as torrent downloads. For sequential its a hit/miss

Optionally, use something like OpenMPTCProuter on a cloud VPS

ER605/Microtik/Ubiquiti all have some sort of policy based routing. This is the key thing you need to look for.

Dual SFP is not there in most devices in budget. ER605 is a ~5K device, but if you spend upwards of maybe 30K - possible

Have Hex-S - not using it. Was kept as an AP. You can do routing on it, depends on the way you configure RouterOS - i think it has an L4 license.

EDIT - Its a HAP Lite. Hex S or equivalent is used with a 100M leased line in a clients place, for auto switching between fibre and RF backup.
