Dealing with a Slow Internet Connection
In a world where being connected is vital to almost everything, a slow Internet connection is more than just a nuisance. Whether you are trying to work remotely, check your social media status, or just look up restaurant reviews on Yelp!, a slow internet connection keeps you from living life on your terms.
The good news is that you no longer have to compromise with a slow Internet connection. As you have access to multiple Internet connections, you can use them at the same time. Speedify makes this possible – read more below.
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.

Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways

Why Is My Internet so Slow and How Can I Troubleshoot It?
Many people blame their ISP or bad WiFi hotspots for their slow internet. Each of the above is certainly real and happening, contributing to slow download and upload speeds. But most people are also connecting to the Internet with just a single connection.
Your smartphone is actually capable of running multiple Internet connections at a time. However, both iOS and Android devices default to sending all Internet traffic through a single connection. Everything either goes through WiFi or through the mobile data connection.
With computers, you can use the internal network adapters, as well as external USB dongles to connect to the Internet through different networks. You may connect to WiFi and a cellular dongle plus wired Ethernet. But you’ll see that your operating system, be it Windows or macOS, will still use only one connection at a time.

How Speedify Works to Fix Slow Internet Connections
Speedify unlocks the full potential of your device – computer, smartphone, tablet. Using channel bonding technology, Speedify allows your device to use all available connections at once to connect to the Internet. This dual connection allows your phone to connect at lightning fast speeds.
Speedify also monitors the quality of your connections. It uses an automatic failover protocol to keep you always connected, even if one of your connections goes down.
Speedify will seamlessly reroute all your Internet traffic through the remaining active connections until the dropped connection is reestablished. This means you get to enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted Internet experience instead of getting buffering or spinning wheels of death.
