Whether you’re sharing files over wifi, cellular data like 5G, satellite internet like Starlink, or a hardwired ethernet connection, Multiconnect bonds multiple internet connections to guarantee the fastest uploads possible.

How much time you will save depends on the speed of your respective connections.
