The Customers Show You the Way: Get Faster Uploads and Downloads on Starlink with Speedify
How to Make Starlink Work Better with Speedify
Listening to your users is one the most important lessons I have learned over and over in business. This past summer Brett Stelmaszek of UFDTech used Speedify, a Starlink, and several Cellular connections to livestream a cross country UFDTech’s Cannonball Run of 2022.
As the network of Starlink satellites has grown, so has its subscriber base, and in the past few months more and more of them have flocked to Speedify to overcome issues with latency and reliability. At Speedify we regularly test our software with multiple ISPs and carriers, and we needed to physically own a Starlink to test and refine Speedify.
This is the first part of a series of learnings that I wish to share with you on the importance of listening to your customers when it comes to driving and growing your business.
Use the Speedify software app to avoid Starlink internet dropouts
Speedify fixes slow Starlink download and upload speeds and gets you faster internet download and upload speeds.. Use the Speedify app to combine your Starlink with another Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G cellular, or a wired broadband internet connection and use them together at the same time. The Speedify software app works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and supported OpenWrt routers.
Speedify alerts you about your Starlink dish status
The Speedify software app alerts you about your Starlink dish status - i.e. when your actuator motor is stuck, the mast is not vertical or there's a thermal throttle. These Starlink dish alerts will appear on your Speedify software app dashboard and are triggered if the specific condition was met at least once in the previous 15 seconds. They will persist for as long as they are active.

Speedify wirelessly joins multiple phone personal hotspots together for faster internet upload and download speeds
Speedify's Pair & Share feature enables you to connect to multiple hotspots at the same time for faster upload and download speeds and more reliable internet for everyone. Speedify's Pair & Share feature allows you to wirelessly share 4G / 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network when live streaming from an event, calling from the commute or sharing from the field.
Speedify is the only app that allows you to share 4G / 5G cellular data between PCs, Macs, iPhones and Androids. Use multiple iPhones and Android phones as hotspots for internet access and get faster upload and download speeds and mobile failover for all paired devices.

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.
