Speedify Provides Faster Internet Upload and Download Speeds for Your Synagogue
Yes, your synagogue can use Starlink for livestreamed services (if your congregation streams them), online Torah study and the synagogue office, especially where cable and fiber never reached. One Starlink dish lists downloads of 45 to 280 Mbps and uploads of 10 to 30 Mbps.
The hardest part is keeping a livestream steady. Speedify is an app that uses Starlink and 4G/5G cellular at the same time, so if Starlink drops during a livestreamed service, the stream moves to cellular and people watching from home don’t lose it. Speedify needs that second internet connection: with Starlink alone, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop Starlink from dropping.
Speedify keeps you online when Starlink drops, wherever you are

How Starlink Helps Synagogues That Need a More Reliable Internet Connection
Many congregations whose practice allows it now stream services and holiday programs for elderly and faraway members, teach Torah study, Hebrew school and adult education over video calls, run membership in cloud software, and take donations and event sign-ups online.
Without cable or fiber, slow or unsteady internet limits all of that. A Starlink dish gives the synagogue enough speed to stream, hold video calls and run the office at the same time, for a congregation of any size.
A livestream depends on upload speed. Twitch, for example, recommends 4.5 Mbps of upload for a 1080p stream at 30 frames per second and 6 Mbps at 60 frames per second. Starlink covers that in normal conditions, but your Starlink dish switches satellites about every 15 seconds, and a short drop or a storm can freeze the stream during the service.
How Speedify Keeps Your Synagogue’s Livestream Online on Starlink
Speedify runs on the computer that sends your livestream, or on the synagogue’s router. Speedify watches the speed and delay of Starlink and your second internet connection all the time. When both are working, Speedify uses them at the same time, so you get faster uploads and downloads than either one gives you alone. When Starlink drops, Speedify moves the stream to cellular on its own, without cutting it off.
If there’s no cellular modem in the building, cellular sharing in Speedify lets phones running Speedify on the synagogue’s Wi-Fi share their cellular connections with the streaming computer.
Speedify also encrypts all internet traffic, which protects member details, donation records and synagogue emails. An Individual plan costs $89.99 a year, or as low as $4.99 a month on a 3-year plan.
How to Set Up Speedify with Starlink at Your Synagogue
Step 1: Install the Starlink Dish at the Synagogue
Mount the Starlink dish with a clear view of the sky. A rooftop, a garden or a corner of the parking lot can work. Check the Starlink app for obstructions and signal before you fix the mount in place.
Step 2: Add a 4G/5G Cellular Internet Connection
Connect a 4G/5G cellular router or a USB cellular modem to the streaming computer or to the router running Speedify. That gives Speedify a second internet connection to use if Starlink drops during a service or event.
Step 3: Download and Run Speedify on the Streaming Computer
Download Speedify and install it on the computer that runs your livestream, or on a compatible router for the whole building. Speedify finds every internet connection and starts using them right away.
Which Synagogues Get the Most from Starlink and Speedify
- Synagogues in rural or outer suburban areas where cable or fiber is missing or too slow to stream
- Congregations that stream services and holiday programs for elderly members and people who can’t attend
- Jewish community centers and schools teaching Torah study, Hebrew school and adult education over video calls (the same setup works for Starlink at schools and campuses)
- Synagogues running membership, events and donations in cloud software throughout the day
- Affiliated congregations where a second site joins or shares programs from the main synagogue

Speedify Also Shows Your Starlink Dish Status
Speedify shows real-time Starlink dish alerts in the app. If your Starlink dish has a problem, such as overheating, Speedify shows an alert once the problem has lasted 15 seconds, and clears it when it’s fixed.
For the volunteers and staff who run the livestream, that means they see a Starlink dish problem as it happens, without special networking knowledge.
For synagogue staff and volunteers: Download Speedify on the computer that runs your livestream and use Starlink and cellular together.
For Jewish community centers and congregations with several sites: Speedify can combine Starlink and cellular at every site. Contact Us to plan the setup.
