Avoid Connectivity Issues when Streaming Quibi Short Videos
Quibi is a new short-form mobile video platform set to launch on April 6, 2020. Unlike the already existing on-demand streaming video platforms like Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Disney+, Quibi’s content is made specifically for mobile devices.
The name Quibi actually comes from “quick bites” of content – a reference to the fact that the episodes will last 10 minutes or less. PCMag offers a sneak preview of the launch lineup in their dedicated article. You’ll be able to watch Quibi using the iOS or Android app. An interesting thing is that you will be able to switch between horizontal and vertical viewing while it runs.
While it all sounds fantastic – remember the issues you’re having with other streaming video platforms? Does stuttering, buffering or even disconnects sound familiar? If you’re not seeing them with Quibi streaming – that’s great! But most likely there will come a time and place where you’ll wish for a better Internet connection. Read on to see how you can avoid Quibi streaming issues and enjoy your quick bites of content!
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways

Reasons Why Quibi Streaming Videos Are Buffering or Disconnecting
To put it simply – it’s either them or you. But just to eliminate the possibility – check out Quibi’s Twitter page for any announcements about outages. If everything is fine there, it’s you.
And when we say “you” – this means:
- your ISP – they can have temporary network issues, do maintenance work or deliver sub par Internet. If the Internet is slow on other platforms as well, contact your ISP.
- your modem / router – a restart is always welcome and might save you a lot of time and head aches.
- your smartphone – there might be software conflicts or other apps running that hog the bandwidth.
As you can see, there’s a common denominator for all of these: your Internet connection. If it’s too slow or unreliable, Quibi steaming will not be able to cope with it. So, you will get the dreaded buffering wheel or even worse – be disconnected!

Enjoy Quibi Streaming Videos Wherever You Are
The best part about Speedify is that it requires no added hardware to provide you with that extra bandwidth and stability. You just have it installed on your smartphone and can use it while at home, traveling, commuting, on holiday.
