You Can Join Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify, to Fix Facebook Live Streaming Issues
Roughly three quarters of Facebook Live broadcasters run into internet connection or streaming errors, which tells you the problem is structural: one internet connection on its own is a single point of failure for a live broadcast.
Speedify is an app that broadcasts over Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular data, wired Ethernet, Starlink and other internet connections at the same time, on a phone or tablet as well as a computer, so losing one internet connection does not end the stream. See how to get an internet connection dependable enough for Facebook Live, and what using Speedify means on broadcast day: no scramble when the Wi-Fi gives out.
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.

According to the source cited above, many can’t connect to Facebook live and those who can have trouble streaming. 37% of respondents explicitly state that their Facebook live stream drops mid broadcast because of connection / streaming errors.
Live streaming issues may have many causes, but for ordinary people that do Facebook live broadcasts using their smartphones or tablets, the most common one is an unreliable Internet connection, be it a troublesome WiFi hotspot, poor LTE network coverage or simply the way the mobile devices hands off the connection from one WiFi hotspot / cell tower to another.
Fix Facebook Live Stream Issues: Get a Reliable Internet Connection
In order to get a more reliable Internet connection for live streaming, you’d have to be able to use at least 2 Internet connections at once, so that if one of them drops, you’ll still broadcast on the other one.
Easy to say, expensive to put into practice in most cases – those special “broadcast” bags with small antennas sticking out where you can plug several USB adapters for LTE plus WiFi can go up to several thousand dollars in cost. Plus the mobile carrier subscriptions.
However, there’s another way to do this, more cost effective and not requiring you to carry any excess equipment on you, even when broadcasting from the streets. What if your phone or tablet could be fitted with a software that does that?
