Speedify makes Amtrak Wi-Fi Faster, Safer, and More Reliable
Use the Amtrak Wi-Fi and your cellular connection at once
Speedify optimizes and secures your connections for better internet on the train.
With Speedify you get reliable internet wherever you go
If you regularly commute on Amtrak you already know how slow and unreliable the complimentary Wi-Fi can be. But no matter if you’re riding the train for business or pleasure, there’s nothing worse than losing work or getting constantly interrupted because of flaky Internet access.
With Speedify, you can use all of your Internet connections at once for faster uploads and downloads, uninterrupted web browsing, and smoother streaming video – even on the train!
How we tested Speedify on Amtrak
New York City to Philadelphia, 2 external network adapters, one laptop
Connection performance on the Amtrak – when used separately
We used the following connections:
- The laptop’s built-in WiFi card, connected to the Amtrak WiFi network;
- A Verizon LTE MiFi, tethered via USB;
- A CLEAR USB WiMAX card.
The laptop ran a speed test every two minutes to check the connectivity and bandwidth of the various links. Here’s what we got:
| Connection | Average Speed (while connected) | Reliability (>0 Kbps) | Good Internet (>2 Mbps) | # of times offline |
| Amtrak Wifi | 2.583 Mbps | 94.12% | 67.65% | 2 |
| Verizon Mifi | 3.875 Mbps | 85.29% | 70.59% | 5 |
| Clear WiMax | 4.700 Mbps | 61.76% | 47.06% | 13 |
Connection performance on the Amtrak – when used separately
Amtrak riders want to stay online with a connection reliable enough to get some work done. This is where Speedify comes in: our bonding VPN service gives users the power to combine two or more Internet connections at once. With Speedify bonding VPN, the Amtrak WiFi and Verizon LTE, we never lost connectivity – that’s 100% uptime! We even had at least 2 Mbps throughput for 85% of the trip.
The chart below plots the speeds of the Verizon, Amtrak and combined connections (Speedify). Because we wanted to see places where the speed is LESS than 2 Mbps, we capped all the speeds at 2 Mbps, so the failures will be clearer:
Bandwidth of each connection, and combined connection, capped at our 2 Mbps goal.
| Connection | Reliability (>0 Kbps) | Good Internet (>2 Mbps) | # of times kicked offline |
| Amtrak Wifi | 94.12% | 67.65% | 2 |
| Verizon Mifi | 85.29% | 70.59% | 5 |
| Speedify (Amtrak + Verizon) | 100% | 85.29% | 0 |

Speedify is a must have if you need a stable connection for live streaming. For best results, use at least two Internet connections - I also got a private dedicated server, which makes the service even better, because you are the only one using the server!Alessia Santeramo

During my last stream, I lost all network connectivity over my primary Wi-Fi network and didn't even notice because Speedify just made it so seamless.Doug Piper

Since moving our entertaining to Zoom last March we have had a lot of problems with our internet connection, making our events a lot less professional. Since being introduced to Speedify that has all changed and we haven't dropped out of a call ONCE!George aka Orange Gina
