Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion

Dealing with Starlink dish obstruction issues? You're not alone. While Starlink has revolutionized rural internet access, those "obstruction detected" notifications can bring your video calls, streaming, and critical online work to a frustrating halt.

The Speedify app is here to help: run it to combine Starlink internet with 4G / 5G cellular, DSL or another older connection and avoid being disconnected from the Internet when your Starlink dish is obstructed. Plus - now it’s easier to see what’s going on with your Starlink at all times, right in the Speedify app.

Should you get a second Starlink?

Is Starlink giving you great download speeds but weak uploads and random dropouts? Even with 100+ Mbps Starlink download speeds, many users get stuck with under 25 Mbps uploads, unstable connection issues.

A powerful way to upgrade your Starlink speed and stability is to run two Starlink dishes. But to actually combine both Starlink connections into one faster, stronger internet link, you need connection bonding software like Speedify.

Speedify bonds your Starlink dishes for more upload and download bandwidth, smoother Zoom and Teams calls, and far more reliable livestreams. And when one dish drops, as Starlink often does, the other instantly takes over without lag or interruptions.

If you want more reliable, faster Starlink uploads and downloads, bonding multiple Starlink connections with Speedify is the most effective way to level up your satellite internet.

Get instant Speedify alerts about Starlink interruptions and updates

Speedify provides a series of telemetry alerts provided by Starlink; these Starlink dish alerts will appear on your Speedify dashboard and are triggered if the specific condition was met at least once in the previous 15 seconds. They will persist for as long as they are active.

Why Starlink Dish Obstructions Happen

Starlink dish obstruction occurs when trees, buildings, or other physical barriers block your dish's line of sight to satellites. Even minimal obstructions can cause:

  • Intermittent disconnections during important video meetings
  • Frustrating buffering while streaming
  • Connection drops during online gaming
  • Interrupted downloads of important files

While traditional advice suggests trimming trees or relocating your dish, these solutions aren't always practical or possible.

Why You Need Speedify: It Combines Starlink with a Secondary Connection - 4G LTE / 5G Cellular, DSL, etc. - for Uninterrupted Internet

Usually you have to eliminate the obstruction right away to be able to use your Starlink internet. You won’t be able to do that if you’re in a video call, live streaming or playing games online at the very moment when your Starlink dish gets obstructed. That’s why it’s important to use Speedify as a failover solution for your Internet.

Speedify's channel bonding technology allows you to combine your Starlink connection with any other available internet source:

  • Cellular data (4G/5G)
  • DSL or cable internet backup
  • Public Wi-Fi within range
  • Mobile hotspots

When Starlink dish obstruction causes a momentary outage, Speedify instantly shifts your traffic to your secondary connection, ensuring you stay connected without interruption or lag.
