If you visit the Speedify website, you will learn a lot about their magic ability to split Internet traffic over two or more parallel Internet connections to increase speed. I use and like that feature and I will write about it later in this review, but for me, Speedify is primarily a very fast and stable proxy server with a lower price than much of the competition. Since I mainly use it for streaming video I don't need the encryption of a VPN. I also use Speedify to check differences in search engine results and advertisements between countries, and to verify that our public website uses the right language depending on what country it is being accessed from. Second, I use Speedify for streaming video also in my home country when I'm on a cellular connection, since many poor connections work much better with Speedify. The Speedify website says this has to do with faster detection of lost network packets but my impression is that there are other optimizations too. One of my main video streaming services uses the ViewRight plugin from Verimatrix, and I just can't get it to work at all over 3G unless I use Speedify as lubricant. Third, I'm a great football (soccer) fan, and I really hate it when my connection drops at the most exciting moment of the game - and that's when it always happens, isn't it? With Speedify it's easy to add a backup connection without any considerable extra cost. It's no problem if it's much more expensive than the base connection, or only gives you a few gigabytes of extra data, because you can tell Speedify not to use it unless it has to. With Speedify, the game never stops playing.Fourth, my sister has a summer home in the countryside where I like to be in the spring and fall when she rarely goes there. Unfortunately, none of the three major 3G networks have good and stable coverage there. I found an ancient Android phone that I can tether to my laptop together with my iPhone, and then I use an old wi-fi router for the third 3G operator. Speedify has no problem using all three mobile operators at the same time, gracefully overcoming hundreds of dropped network connections every day without stumbling, and usually making it possible even to watch football. Sometimes buying a better phone, router or modem just isn't an option, and that's when you really start to appreciate Speedify.
