How to Fix Slow BoltBus WiFi
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.

Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

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

Why Your Wifi Connection is so Slow on BoltBus
The problem with relying solely on Wi-Fi on BoltBus is that everyone else onboard is also trying to use the Wi-Fi. The system easily becomes overwhelmed and the service is spotty. The BoltBus Wi-Fi is delivering mobile internet to everyone onboard. It’s like trying to push a lot of water through a narrow pipe. There is a limit to how much water can get through at any one time.
The same is true of the web traffic.
How Speedify is Revolutionizing Your Mobile Phone
Speedify changes everything about the way you connect to the internet. By default, mobile devices either connect to the internet through a cell signal or through Wi-Fi. Speedify allows your mobile device to connect to the web using Wi-Fi and cell service at the same time.
The Speedify app runs in the background of your phone monitoring your data and the network reliability of the cell and the Wi-Fi network. It prioritizes sending traffic through the cheaper Wi-Fi connection, but when it becomes unstable, it seamlessly uses your cell connection to keep you connected to the internet. It has auto failover so that you don’t have to do anything to stay connected. The app takes care of everything.
When you are using Speedify, even the flaky Wi-Fi on BoltBus can’t slow you down.
You can use Speedify with your laptop too. All you need to do is:
- Download Speedify on your mobile device
- Set it up and run it
- Tether your laptop to your mobile device
It’s that easy. Speedify will give you the boost you need to stream videos, stay connected to the office, and to use the internet on your terms.
You No Longer Have to Choose Between Speed and Security
Speedify is more than just a way to boost the speed of slow BoltBus Wi-Fi. It is also the best mobile VPN available. This means that not only can you stream data faster, but also all of your personal data is encrypted – a must when joining unsecured public wifi hotspots like the “Bolt Bus” wifi network. When you use Speedify you no longer have to choose between speed and security. You get both every time you use the app.
Speedify makes sure your personal data stays personal while also making sure you never have to deal with lagging and buffering issues while traveling on BoltBus.
