Have you ever struggled with slow Internet on your Mac or PC while at a coffee shop, hotel, or even at home? Trust us, you’re not alone.
When your Wi-Fi simply isn’t fast enough for streaming movies, video calling, or gaming what do you do? How do you get faster Internet with the resources that you have at hand? You need to find another Internet connection, and you need to try Speedify!
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.
