Never had a good experience with Speedify, never worked as advertised.

I also did not get any benefit from it when I tried it in 2017. Granted it was New Caledonia. The connections are provided by a single state run telecom with no competition. The internet is shit there. Later, I tried bonding for speed in other countries and it always was slower or the same as one connection. You are better off with a Peplink device and their SpeedFusion service. At least you can host it yourself in cloud providers and control how much bandwidth it gets. Edit: I have one of these: https://www.peplinkworks.com/max-transit-duo.asp https://www.peplinkworks.com/max-transit-duo.asp

  Can you share pricing? Appreciate the link, but half the page is "get a quote"

    It depends on which country you live in and what types of WANs you want. Mine has 2 LTE-A WANs as well as ethernet WANs. It cost $1200 NZD which means it could probably be around $600 USD in the USA. You can find cheaper models if you only have 1 LTE WAN + 1 ethernet WAN. I also have a Nighthawk M2 which is an LTE "router" with a battery that has an ethernet port. At one point I had that plugged into the ethernet WAN port so I had 3 LTE modems going at the same time. This is obviously beneficial when there are multiple carriers in the area with their own infrastructure.

  Oh, I remember you! We've made major changes to the protocol since then. Connections with as much latency and loss as you had cannot be maxxed out by a single TCP connection. We now default to a mode that uses up to 8 TCP connections in parallel on each internet connection to let us reach the full speed of connections even if they have latency and loss that limits the performance of TCP. We'd love to get you to try it again. Email us at support@speedify.com and we'd get you a license to reevaluate.

  I tested a BL20X, had to tweak the WAN connection buffer size every few days when the speeds change with cellular and landline, the latency would be very high, a constant ~500ms which may not be an issue when streaming video, no issues when using two cellular modems. I also had to set it at 2000 to get the upload speed of the faster WAN. (~2019) Unfortunately the cheapest models are at least few hundreds $ and reliable dedicated servers aren't cheap.

  Switched to Mushroom networks, while the speed was good with pepwave, the latency was unbearable for me.

Shoot us an email at support@speedify.com. If it wasn't recently, there have been a lot of improvements at every level of the software.

I tried it. Worked well enough. It seems they suffer from a fundamental network quality issue. If I had access to a single network with enough quality, I'd just use it. Every time I've needed Speedify, all of the connection options have been terrible. It can only help so much when you're pooling a hotel sharing 100MB connection and two phones with 1 bar. ----- I did find their billing a bit shady. They force you to go to your payment provider to cancel the subscription.

  Exactly. My interests on bonding vanished the day I finally got 1GB at home. I keep a second 100MB connection with another provider for failover only, that I can handle without any external service.
