In the Next Normal, Connectivity Is the Key
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once (Wi-Fi, Ethernet and 4G/5G cellular), so an online match stays online even if one connection drops out. That steady, reliable connection is what helped Team India through the 2020 Online Chess Olympiad.
Here is how Speedify helped the team stay connected on the way to the final.
Speedify makes your internet faster without a new plan or new hardware
How do I use WiFi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time with Speedify?

Team India’s Internet Setup for the 2020 Online Chess Olympiad
The Chess Olympiad is an in-person event, but in 2020 it went online. The teams used chess.com as a platform to stream the gameplay. And, as often happens in online events, internet connectivity turned out to be a hassle for some teams.
That’s why Team India reached out to Speedify to solve their unreliable internet. Overnight, Speedify set them up with Speedify for Teams accounts for the whole team, plus a dedicated server in Mumbai. According to the team, this gave them fast, stable internet connectivity that carried them to the final, where they were named champions along with team Russia (read the whole story here).
“This is exactly what we needed”, said Manu Gurtu, of team India. “The whole team had multiple internet connections but the only problem was seamlessly switching over to the backup connection. Speedify did exactly that. We had almost the entire team to set up Speedify and configure multiple internet connections simultaneously on the app.”
“With internet worries behind us, Team India zoomed ahead and won the quarterfinals and semifinals”, concluded Manu Gurtu. Eventually, team India became a co-champion when a massive Cloudflare outage derailed the event.
This was not the first time Speedify helped people focus on their work and passions instead of on slow, unreliable internet: read about how Speedify helped with a live streaming film in 2018.
Let Speedify Handle Connectivity and Security Instead of Building Internet Infrastructure
Speedify lets you use all of your connections at once for speed, stability and security. When one of them has a problem, Speedify can move network traffic to the other connections until it recovers. Speedify also encrypts your traffic like a VPN, so you get privacy without giving up speed.
If you can focus on your work, you get more done, and that has always been true for remote workers. Office internet is a different case: offices usually have enterprise ISP plans with guaranteed SLAs and multiple redundancy. Remote workers need their own fast, stable and secure internet, and they can have it anywhere with at least two connections (home internet and a tethered phone, for example) and Speedify.
