The Starlink Connectivity Card in Speedify Shows How Each Dish Holds Up Over Time
To see how reliable your Starlink internet connection really is, look at it over time, not at one speed reading. Speedify’s Starlink Connectivity card, in the Starlink Control Center of the Speedify app, shows how each Starlink dish has held up over the last 15 minutes, as a timeline, plus a Combined row that shows whether your Starlink dishes cover for each other.
Speedify is an app that uses all of your internet connections at the same time, including one or more Starlink dishes. Below: how to read the Connectivity card, and how to spot a Starlink dish that keeps dropping. For each dish’s current ping, speed and obstructions, see Speedify’s Starlink Summary card.

Starlink Internet Connection Drops Happen to Everyone
Speedify measures thousands of Starlink users in more than 140 countries. In September 2026, fixed Starlink dishes went offline for about 38 minutes a day on average, and Starlink dishes on RVs and boats for about 46 minutes a day.
All Starlink dishes also see short dropouts roughly every 15 seconds as the Starlink internet connection switches from one moving satellite to the next. Even a perfectly installed Starlink dish goes offline, and about 7 in 10 Starlink users on Speedify use Starlink together with a second internet connection, like 4G/5G cellular.
What Speedify’s Starlink Connectivity Card Shows
- One row for each Starlink dish. Each row is one Starlink dish, with colors showing how its internet connection did over the last 15 minutes.
- A Combined row. The bottom row shows whether your Starlink dishes fill in each other’s gaps, or drop out together.
- Patterns over time. A Starlink dish that flickers at regular times points to something that keeps happening, like a satellite switch or a tree in the way, not a one-off.
Why the Combined Row Is the One to Watch in the Connectivity Card
If the Combined row often shows yellow or gaps (moments when your internet was weak or down), even when each Starlink dish looks fine on its own, your Starlink dishes are probably pointed at the same part of the sky and blocked by the same things at the same moments. That defeats the point of running more than one.
The fix is to aim one Starlink dish so the two cover different parts of the sky. Starlink’s advice on running more than one Starlink dish with a clear view backs this up: each Starlink dish needs a clear view of the sky all the way around, from about 20 degrees above the horizon upward. Speedify’s Dish Orientation card, which shows which way each Starlink dish points, and its Alignment Wizard, a step-by-step aiming tool, help you aim it.
How Speedify Uses What the Connectivity Card Shows
The Connectivity card is the part you can see of what Speedify is already doing. Speedify keeps checking the speed, delay and lost data on every internet connection, and moves your traffic off a Starlink dish that’s getting weaker before it drops completely.
Because Speedify sends your traffic over all of your internet connections at the same time, a gap on one row doesn’t have to mean a gap in your video call. With a single Starlink dish, the card still shows how it holds up, but Speedify needs a second internet connection, like 4G/5G cellular, to fill the gaps. To track drops over a longer time, see how to monitor Starlink outages and uptime with Speedify.
Who Gets the Most from the Starlink Connectivity Card
- People running two or more Starlink dishes. The Combined row is the fastest way to tell whether two Starlink dishes really back each other up, or just repeat each other.
- Live streamers and people who work from home. A drop pattern that repeats on the timeline explains stutters that a speed test would miss.
- Anyone moving a Starlink dish. The timeline shows within minutes whether the move really cut down the drops.
From Timeline to Steady Internet with Speedify and Starlink
The Connectivity card shows where each Starlink dish struggles. Speedify spreads your traffic so those struggles stay off your screen, and the Combined row tells you when it’s time to aim a Starlink dish differently. For the full tour, see how to use Speedify’s Starlink Control Center.
