Sharing is Caring
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.

Basic Things to Have for Live Streaming
How to Improve your Streaming Quality
As mentioned above, the internet connection needs to be stable and secure when live streaming to YouTube. Here's a list of what you must have to have a smooth streaming experience:
- Stable internet connection - This can make or break your streaming event. It's important to have a strong internet connection to prevent streams from getting disconnected or have low quality image or sound.
- Fast internet access - This is vital for streaming online. If you have a slow internet connection, your streams will suffer. This is important for the streams host and viewers alike.
- Secured internet access - Hacks can occur at any online-related activities by bad actors (pun intended). You want to ensure that your streams security will never be compromised.
- Backup internet connection - This is vital in case your main internet breaks. If you have multiple internet sources from smartphones, USB dongles, or WiFi connections, you can use Speedify. Speedify is a channel-bonding VPN solution. Speedify will enable you to combine more connections and secure your internet access.
