How to Find and Use Multiple Internet Connections at Once Anywhere

Better Internet, Anywhere & Anytime!

With just a single connection Speedify can help improve packet loss and allow you to access region locked content. However, to get the full benefits of Speedify you need access to multiple Internet connections. On mobile this is easy since smartphones have their own built in cellular data connections that can be bonded with Wi-Fi.

Things are more complicated with computers, both due to differences in hardware and, most of all, the availability of different kinds of Internet connections. If we're talking about laptops, all of them have internal Wi-Fi adapters. And some of them have internal Ethernet and/or cellular adapters. With desktop computers, you usually get the built-in Ethernet adapter and sometimes a Wi-Fi adapter.

The important thing is to realize that it's almost impossible you don't have access to at least 2 Internet sources. That's why we aggregated this information into a handy guide on the most common Internet connections that you can find depending on where you are.
