Make Your DSL Faster – Combine It with Another Connection
DSL is supposed to be a type of high-speed Internet connection. But, sometimes DSL just isn’t fast enough. The farther away you are from the hub, the slower your DSL connection might be. If you want to make your DSL faster one of the easiest things you can do is to combine it with another connection.
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.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

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

Combine Multiple Internet Connections to Speed Up DSL
The issue with slow DSL is that your bandwidth is being constricted. You need a bigger pipe to move all of your data back and forth faster, without running into an Internet traffic jam.
When you combine your DSL line with another connection you expand the pipe. Windows and macOS computers can have multiple Internet connections, but they only use one connection at a time. This means you are not getting an expanded pipe.
So, you need to bond your connections. It used to be that you needed a complicated and expensive hardware setup to merge two separate connections so that they acted as a single pipe.
Speedify – The Easy Way to Bond Internet Connections
But, now all you need is the Speedify app. You can download Speedify for your Apple or Windows computer.
When you want to make your DSL connection faster all you have to do is connect your computer to the DSL line. Then you need to connect your computer to a second Internet connection. This could be a separate DSL line, a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot, a cable line, or even a satellite internet connection.
Once you are connected to two different sources, all you have to do is use the Speedify app. Speedify takes care of bonding the 2 connections. You will immediately notice how much faster your Internet works.
You can use Speedify to combine as many different Internet connections as you like. It is the easiest way to bond Internet connections. It works like a turbo booster for your slow DSL line.
Speedify – the VPN for speed, security and stability
Speedify does much more than simply bond Internet connections. Not only can it make your DSL line faster, but it also works in the background monitoring the quality of your connections.
It has auto failover. If something goes wrong with one of your connections, Speedify automatically reroutes all of your traffic through the remaining active connections. You don’t have to do anything. You stay online and are able to continue using the web without interruption. Once the connection is stable again, Speedify bonds it to the other connection or connections automatically.
Speedify is also a next generation VPN for mobility. Instead of slowing down your connection like so many other VPNs, Speedify makes your Internet connection faster while still providing state of the art encryption for all of the data travelling back and forth from your computer.
Speedify is the best way to get the speeds you want out of your Internet connection while also getting the peace of mind that your data is safe from hackers, snoops, and even your ISP.
