You Can Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together - Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL - with Speedify, to Fix Slow FaceTime
FaceTime is supposed to help us stay connected with family and friends, and even work with business partners all over the world. But, if you have ever suffered through a slow, laggy FaceTime connection, you know that sometimes the technology doesn’t seem to live up to the promises.
It is aggravating when you are in the middle of a conversation, and the person on the other side suddenly freezes followed by the message “The video will resume automatically when the connection improves”. What’s even worse is when FaceTime either gets stuck on “Connecting…” indefinitely or manages to connect but then fails instantly with a “Connection lost” error.
The reason for slow FaceTime is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. You can solve FaceTime issues by joining your main Internet connection with another Internet source like a Starlink or DSL, 4G, 5G. Whether at home, work, or on-the-go, Speedify works with all live streaming software and social platforms to get you faster, more reliable and secure Internet.
In this article we'll show you how you can fix slow FaceTime to be able to enjoy video calls without any issues.
Quick answer
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.

The reason your FaceTime app is slow is usually not because of the app itself. It is almost always an internet connection issue. Your device only uses one internet connection at a time. Streaming video and video chat uses up a lot of bandwidth. If there are any issues with the one connection your device is utilizing, you will experience lag. The FaceTime app can’t send and receive data fast enough to keep up with the demands you are placing on it.
Speedify is the only app that can combine multiple internet sources into one bonded super-connection for more stable and secure live streaming, video calling, and web browsing.
Solving Slow Choppy FaceTime with Speedify
When you download and install Speedify, it allows your device to use both cell and wifi at the same time. This makes FaceTime run smoother and faster. Instead of dealing with lag or connection issues, you can just talk.
Speedify also monitors your signal strength while you FaceTime. If one of your connections gets too weak, or drops out altogether, the app uses its auto failover feature. The app automatically routes all the data back through your remaining internet connection. This means that if you Wi-Fi signal is spotty or if you are moving out of range, you can still enjoy a fast and seamless FaceTime connection.
Because Speedify is running in the background, you don’t have to worry about a conversation ending prematurely because of a signal dead spot. You can finally enjoy a FaceTime app that lives up to its promises.
Industry Leading VPN Means More Than Lighting Fast FaceTime Connections
Lightning fast FaceTime connections might be enough to get you download Speedify from the AppStore. But, Speedify does much more than speed up FaceTime. The secret of Speedify’s internet speed boosting abilities is that the app is built on cutting-edge mobile VPN technology.
This means that not only are you able to enjoy fast FaceTime, but you can also rest assured that your valuable data, including your passwords, are being kept safe from cyber security threats.
Speedify protects you whether you are using Wi-Fi, cell signal, or both to connect to the internet. You don’t have to worry about someone else electronically eavesdropping on your FaceTime call or intercepting your data. Speedify uses state-of-the-art encryption to make sure your private conversations stay that way.
