Avoid the Wait
Increasingly, streaming video is becoming the leading form of online media that we consume on the Internet. Recent stats show that a whopping 70% of North American Internet traffic during peak hours comes from streaming video. Even still, millions of people around the world still suffer from slow and spotty video streaming on Vimeo. We’ve all dealt with it: you’re trying to watch a video on your smartphone or tablet, but slow and unreliable Wi-Fi or LTE coverage keeps interrupting your stream. Ultimately, you’re left staring at that annoying circular buffering icon instead of watching your Vimeo video. The issue is, Vimeo, just like every other streaming video platform, requires fast, stable connectivity in order to function properly for users when they’re on-the-go.
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.
