Livestream Christmas morning without interruption with Speedify!
Once upon a time there was a family living in Anywhere, on Planet Earth. It was mid November and with Black Friday just around the corner, the department stores were filled to the brim with gifts and decorations for Christmas and upcoming holidays.
The family prepared thoroughly to welcome Santa and celebrate the joy of Christmas. They went and bought gifts for loved ones, helped those in need, and were finally looking forward to getting all their relatives including Grandma and Grandpa together on December 25th to see what Mr. Claus had left under the Christmas tree.
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.
Learn more →Second Starlink
Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink, and other satellites for faster internet uploads and downloads
Speedify is the only software app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and other satellites at once for secure, faster, and more reliable internet uploads and downloads so you stay online without interruptions.
Speedify will automatically detect and start using any available Internet connections on your device while intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Speedify gets you faster uploads and downloads from the devices around you
Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets you and the devices around you pair up and share 4G/5G cellular both ways, so every paired device gets faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier internet connection. All sides share and use each other's cellular at once, unlike a personal hotspot, where one device gives and the rest take.
Speedify's Pair & Share feature runs over the local network between devices already running Speedify, with no extra hardware and no new data plans. Speedify creates an encrypted pool of shared 4G/5G cellular connections across all paired devices. Each device taps into that shared pool of combined connections for faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable internet connection.

And so, the stage was set for a wonderful Christmas morning, when unfortunately a powerful blizzard rolled in on Christmas Eve blanketing the town with snow and making travel impossible! The proud and clever mother knew what to do though – she would stream a live video on Facebook while the children excitedly opened their presents and catch those moments for the entire family to enjoy!
She was a smart woman and knew that the Grinch of the Internet had already hatched his own scheme to spoil those precious moments – the family’s home Internet connection would not have sufficient bandwidth to transmit a live video on Facebook consistently.
But Santa himself came to the rescue with a recommendation, the wonderful service of Speedify! Speedify came through right when it was needed most, bonding the family’s home Wi-Fi connection along with the Cellular data connection on her smartphone delivering a smooth and reliable video stream so that Grandma, Grandpa, and relatives from all over the world could watch the children’s joy in real-time! The best part about Speedify was that she got the yearly subscription for the price of a stocking-stuffer.
As with any story with a happy ending, the lesson is simple: get Speedify and enjoy uninterrupted, non-buffering, faster, and more reliable Internet for the holidays!
