From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The major issue is to complain to/about your provider, not mess around with the workaround solutions.
That said once you have the list of packages, you can download them on your phone and seamlessly transfer them to your pc with Syncthing.
Have a look at dnf-automatic to do downloads only. I'm not sure how many retries it allows.
There is also the option of limiting your bandwidth on the PC so that it doesn't choke.
Ultimately the ISP has to provide a working service.
