Avoid Connection Issues and Win the Game this March Madness
Fantasy Sports apps like FanDuel are more popular than ever as “off track” betting is now the new norm. It seems like everyone is getting into FanDuel hoping to make a bundle wagering on their favorite sporting events. Now that March Madness is upon us after a year off, look out!
You’re probably getting into your Bracketology to choose your picks after looking over the stats and percentage points. Many of us are glued to our smartphones to catch the latest results, which hopefully are as you predicted. So, you can move up in your bracket and win some dollars. Unfortunately there are many things that can go wrong from a technical point of view:
- stats are returned slow
- you missed the buzzer shot live because the stream froze
- the FanDuel contest app stops working.
I think you know the rest – frustration arising, not having fun anymore, etc. And all these have one thing in common: bad Internet connectivity. This article explains how to avoid FanDuel March Madness contest app issues by getting fast and reliable Internet.
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.

Most Common Reason for FanDuel App Not Working
While there’s a possibility that the FanDuel service is down, that’s highly unlikely. When your FanDuel app is not working, usually the culprit is your Internet connection. If you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, the service / app isn’t able to work properly. And this can happen at any time, not just for March Madness.
The FanDuel app uses the Internet to send and receive data about your actions. Your device is sending a complex set of data packets to the device of the person you are trying to talk to, their device is sending packet of data to you.
If your Wi-Fi connection has a momentary blip or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.
This results in the FanDuel app failing to update info and, generally, not working.
Speedify Fixes FanDuel March Madness Contest Issues Related to Your Internet
Speedify makes your FanDuel app experience better, because it improves your Internet connection. Speedify is a bonding VPN service which works by monitoring the quality of your Internet connections in the background. It allows you to combine your Wi-Fi and cellular connection simultaneously into a single “pipe” on your mobile device.
This improves your bandwidth and stability of your connection, eliminating FanDuel app not working issues, especially for March Madness.
Speedify also routes data when something happens to one of your connections.
