MacBook Pro Slow Internet – Proven Fix to Speed It Up

MacBooks are awesome laptops used by millions of people worldwide. Now, with the new generation of MacBooks operating on the new Apple Silicon ARM based M1 processor, the market share is expected to grow.

However, there is something that can slow down your shiny new or old MacBook - slow internet. Whether you have a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro and even if you are running the newest macOS 14 (Big Sur), you are not immune to slow internet issues. Naturally, the most common cause for MacBook Pro slow internet is the connection you're using. You should definitely troubleshoot your slow internet issues and get faster, more stable connectivity. This article will help you save time and get that in a matter of minutes with a proven alternative: using all of your internet connections at once.

Unfortunately everybody is familiar with symptoms of slow internet; these apply to MacBooks as well. Just to name a few:

• downloads / uploads are slow;
• videos are buffering;
• you experience stuttering and buffering when video conferencing;
• websites / apps take forever to load or refresh.

The reasons for MacBook Pro slow internet are usually:

• poor connection issues (e.g. connecting from rural or remote areas)
• temporary ISP infrastructure problems
• router / modem issues
• you're too far from the Wi-Fi router / hotspot

Spending time to troubleshoot your slow Internet connection on your MacBook Pro is certainly an option. And you should definitely do that when you have time to spare. After all - you should make sure you're getting what you're paying for from your ISP.

But when you need something that will always work, you should look at Speedify. It not only fixes slow internet on MacBooks, but can also help you avoid that in the first place.

As a fast bonding VPN, Speedify allows you to use all of your available connections at once on your MacBook. Remember - that's "at once" and not "switching between them" - here's the difference.

Speedify dynamically sends traffic through all your networks - Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, cellular, etc. - depending on each network's performance, to get you the fastest, most stable and secure Internet at any given time. If one of the connections drops (e.g. you connect to a sticky Wi-Fi hotspot), Speedify will move more traffic over cellular or wired Ethernet. And it's all seamless to you, even when streaming - you won't even know it happened till you check the stats in the app.

How to use Speedify on Your MacBook

It's simple - use integrated and external network adapters on your MacBook to connect to different networks. Speedify will automatically recognize each new connection and start using it. You can find more details about combining different connections types in our knowledge base.

Aside from getting you fast and stable Internet connectivity, Speedify uses servers in the cloud and encrypts your traffic to and from those servers. This means that your online activity is safe from hackers and cyber criminals that might be lurking on public Wi-Fi networks for example.

This comes in handy also when the network you're connected to restricts access to certain websites and apps - mostly streaming and social media ones - YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc. This is the case for many educational and office networks. The point is that with the traffic being encrypted, you can access those websites freely.

There's another upside to this: you can choose the servers to connect to, including those in other countries. So, if you're abroad or need to access a local resource within a country, connect to a server in the region where access is not blocked and you're all set!

To wrap this up - use Speedify to fix MacBook Pro slow internet and get peace of mind when it comes to internet connectivity in general.
