How to Make Starlink Work Better with Speedify
How Speedify Customers Get Faster Upload and Download Speeds on Starlink: here is the short version, and what it means if you rely on Starlink.
Speedify bonds Starlink with a second connection like 4G/5G or Wi-Fi so an outage never takes you fully offline. Download the Speedify app to see it.
Starlink internet connection drops happen to everyone
Speedify measures thousands of Starlink users in more than 140 countries. In September 2026, fixed Starlink dishes went offline for about 38 minutes a day on average, and Starlink dishes on RVs and boats for about 46 minutes a day.
All Starlink dishes also see short dropouts roughly every 15 seconds as the Starlink internet connection switches from one moving satellite to the next. Even a perfectly installed Starlink dish goes offline, and about 7 in 10 Starlink users on Speedify use Starlink together with a second internet connection, like 4G/5G cellular.
Speedify adds a second internet connection to Starlink for faster uploads and downloads, and failover

Starlink and Live Streaming
To really eat our ‘own dog food’ we decided that we needed to set up a live stream that used Starlink and Speedify 24/7. This serves us in two ways:
- We have access to Starlink network stats and Speedify network stats for live streaming and are able to see where we’re helping and how we can help better
- We showcase that and turn it into a proof point for people who are having issues with Starlink disconnecting.
Just setting up this Starlink livestream has been a journey full of learning for us. We got to apply all our knowledge from doing the Speedify LIVE shows and working with a new type of Internet connection.
To put it briefly: we’re live streaming from a roof using a Starlink Internet connection together with a secondary Comcast cable connection. This way, we can see how Speedify jumps in when Starlink is being unreliable, measure the parameters and continuously improving it.

Follow the Customer Need and Prove the Value
We’re currently winding up to start sharing our findings on how Speedify helps Starlink users get more reliable Internet connections. This will answer all the questions related to Internet reliability when it comes to Starlink down time.
The good news is that since Speedify 12.7 we have Starlink improvements on each and every release.
We are excited to keep live streaming with Starlink and Speedify. It is truly the ‘eat your own dogfood’ software challenge.
