When we first started talking about our vision for Speedify, we imagined a scenario where neighbors could share bandwidth the same way that they might borrow a bit of milk or a pinch of sugar from one another. The “nearby neighbor” use-case would be a game-changer for folks in areas where DSL and other low-bandwidth Internet services are the only option.
We’re always keen to get feedback from Speedify users, so you can imagine how excited we were when Keith V. messaged us to explain that he and his neighbor were both using Speedify to enjoy faster speeds at home.
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.
Learn more →Cable / DSL
Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.
Learn more →Second Starlink
Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.
Learn more →Speedify bonds any two connections into one — automatic failover, more speed, no dropped calls.

As long as neighbors are in range of each other’s Wi-Fi networks, setting up Speedify to combine both connections is a piece of cake. Keith and his neighbor simply signed up for Speedify and downloaded our client app on their respective Mac or PCs at home. Then, after plugging into the primary home Internet as usual, the neighbors connected to each other’s Wi-Fi networks, too. With Speedify running, both Internet connections are instantly used for faster bandwidth and increased reliability. In the case of Keith and his neighbor, now that they have Speedify, they’re zooming along, getting “double the speed [they] used to.” Why not get Speedify and bring blazing fast speeds and increased reliability to your neighborhood, too!
