Combine Two or More Cellular Internet Connections While Live Streaming or Working Remotely
Want faster upload and download speeds and more reliable internet, even when you only have cellular? Combine two or more 4G/5G connections at the same time on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer. On a Mac, here is how to combine two 4G/5G connections.
Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once, such as two 4G/5G cellular connections, so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out.

Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
Reasons to Combine Multiple 5G / 4G Cellular Connections
Speedify can combine any mix of Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections. Combining only 4G/5G cellular connections makes sense when cellular is the only type of internet available where you are.
Here are some common scenarios:
- you’re live streaming outside of your studio or home (IRL streaming included);
- you’re working remotely on the go, from a public place, bus, train, etc.
- you’re into the events business, live streaming weddings, church services, birthdays, etc.
- you’re a vlogger who likes to go live from anywhere.
Whatever the reason, 4G/5G cellular service is available in most places you live, work and travel, often where no Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection exists.
