Is There a Problem with Zoom Today? Fix It: You Can Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify
A Zoom meeting that dies halfway through is often blamed on Zoom, but the usual culprit is closer to home: a laptop quietly switching between Wi-Fi and a phone hotspot, or a home internet connection shared with everyone else’s video.
Speedify is an app that runs your traffic across Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular data, wired Ethernet, Starlink and other internet connections together, so a stumble on one internet connection does not end the call. Below you will find how to tell a real Zoom outage from a problem at your end, and how using Speedify stops your own internet connection from being the reason you drop out.
Speedify keeps your call running when the connection under it fails.
Zoom, Teams, and Meet all end the call when the connection goes, and rejoining costs you the thread of the meeting. Speedify bonds your Wi-Fi with any second connection, often 4G/5G cellular, and hands the call over mid-session. Nobody has to rejoin.
Why Is Zoom Having Issues Today?
When you’re using Zoom, you need a fast and stable Internet for best results. Unfortunately, things can go wrong when you’re least expecting:
- your home ISP can do maintenance work, so the Internet might be very slow, if not disconnect altogether.
- your Wi-Fi router and/or modem can have temporary issues.
- if you’re using mobile data Internet, there might be an issue with the cell tower. Or you might have gone over your data plan for 4G / 5G speeds.
- Zoom can have its own service issues.
Except for the case when Zoom is down, it’s frustrating that most of us can’t trust our Internet connection while working from home. Unless we fix this…
How to Get Reliable and Fast Internet when Using Zoom Meetings
First, let’s eliminate the possibility of a Zoom outage – check out their service status page.
Now, if that’s all OK, you might think that restarting your Wi-Fi router / modem could help. It can, but for how long? Calling your ISP could also help in reporting an issue, but how long will it take them to fix the problem? And can they guarantee that it won’t happen again?
Solution 1: Get a dedicated (business) plan from your ISP. Of course, if you have the budget and your ISP can offer that. But that can be costly and you’d still be dependent on one Internet service provider.
Solution 2: Get an extra Internet connection from a different ISP. Preferably from a different source type, meaning that if you already have cable Internet, try to get a cellular plan. Or if you have satellite Internet, at least go for DSL. Oh, and you have to think about a fast solution to switch between these connection, should one of them fail. Otherwise, you’ll still be disconnected from those video conferences…
Solution 3: Use Speedify bonding VPN – it really works. The special thing about Speedify is that it can combine two or more Internet connections together at the same time. So, regardless of what happens, as long as one of those connections is up and running, you’ll be online.
Are You on Zoom Today, Working from Home? So is Everyone Else. Solve Connectivity Issues Before They Are a Bigger Issue
Upon seeing what Speedify does you may be thinking: “Oh, look… yet another load balancing software…”. And you’d be wrong! Speedify does much more than load balancing: channel bonding. It can use all the connections at the same time. And will intelligently reroute traffic to the working connection(s) before any of them stop working. You won’t even know something happened – your video calls and streaming will go on uninterrupted.
What about data security while working from home? When working remote, data security is very important, as you’re accessing company data. You wouldn’t want that to fall into the hands of the competition. The best part with Speedify being a bonding VPN is it also encrypts traffic going in and out of your device. Your sensitive company data will be safe from hackers and cyber criminals.
So, with no false modesty, Speedify is an essential element for smooth Zoom meetings. It’s available for individual use on up to 5 devices on all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux). But there’s also Speedify for Teams, with more add-ons, such as dedicated servers.
