Slow Kodi Buffering Due to Bad Internet? Fix It with Speedify

How to Solve Slow Kodi Issues the Easy Way

Using Kodi to access all kinds of content online, including videos and music? You can run that content on any device of your choosing, including your TV, laptop, phone, tablet and others. But, as a simple Google search can prove it, many users worldwide are experiencing slow Kodi issues. Some of them can be fixed with a simple restart of the device or application. But for the ones that are related to Internet connectivity, unfortunately, most recommended solutions will not work.

Luckily, there is a proven fix for slow Kodi issues due to spotty Internet connections that does not involve complicated steps around changing cache settings in the app or installing programs that will free available RAM memory on the device you’re running Kodi on. Speedify gets you more bandwidth so you can enjoy your streaming videos with peace of mind and get rid of slow Kodi once and for all.

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.

Speedify bonds any two connections into one — automatic failover, more speed, no dropped calls.

Is Kodi Slow and Buffering Your Videos? Here’s the Easy Solution

If it seems like every time you want to watch a streaming video with Kodi, it works very slow and you first have to endure several minutes of buffering, you are not alone.

The real culprit is your Internet connection. Streaming videos with Kodi requires a lot of data; many Internet connections just don’t have enough bandwidth to handle the request. Another possibility is that your ISP may be throttling video streaming traffic.

But, there is a way to avoid slow Kodi which is buffering when streaming videos online.

Fix Slow Kodi that’s Buffering with Speedify

Speedify is an app you can download on the device you’re using to stream videos with Kodi. Speedify is available for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Speedify is an incredible app that will change the way you experience not just Kodi, but the entire Internet.

When you download Speedify to your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone, it will allow you to combine your device’s mobile data and Wi-Fi connection into a single lightning fast pipe.

Because you will be able to use both the bandwidth from a Wi-Fi and mobile data connection, your Kodi will not be slow due to the spotty Internet connection and you won’t experience any more buffering when watching streaming videos with Kodi. Your device will let you instantly watch any video without interruption. As mentioned above, Speedify also works for desktop and laptop computers, so there’s a lot more other connections you can toss into the mix, such as DSL, cable, satellite, etc.

Speedify not only works for Kodi, but also for any website or Internet dependent app. With Speedify, watching videos with Kodi is like watching TV, you simply click what you want to see and it starts right away, no more buffering or lost connections.

Speedify Is Fast, Secure and Reliable Internet

Speedify goes beyond just increasing your bandwidth by combining multiple internet connections in order to eliminate slow Kodi that’s buffering videos. It also works to make sure you stay connected and that your connection is secure.

Often when you are using a mobile device your cell signal or your Wi-Fi connection fluctuate. This can cause buffering, or even a total loss of connection.

Speedify monitors the quality of your connection in the background. If one of your connections becomes unstable, the app automatically reroutes all of your data so that you stay connected and don’t miss a frame of your video streamed with Kodi. Once the lost connection is available again Speedify starts to utilize it. You don’t have to do anything. You may not even notice that anything is happening. Speedify takes care of everything by itself.

Speedify also works to encrypt all of your data. This keeps you safe from hackers and snoops. It means that you are protected from compromised Wi-Fi networks and that not even your ISP will know what online activities you’re doing.

Speedify is a next-generation mobile VPN service. While older VPNs slow down your Internet connection by as much as 50%, Speedify uses a new protocol that keeps your data safe without slowing down your Internet connection.
